FactNissan's H42 Atlas, sold from 1995 through 2007, was a rebadged Isuzu Elf.
From June 1995 the 2-tonne-class Atlas, sold as the Atlas 20/30, was the Isuzu Elf supplied by Isuzu (Isuzu codes AKR, AKS, APR, APS; Nissan code H42), a sister of the Mazda Titan and Nissan Diesel Condor. Isuzu engines ranged from a 3.1-litre 4JG2 to a 5.2-litre 4HK1-T; the 1999 facelift enlarged the turbo engine from 4.8 to 5.2 litres. A 2004 facelift restyled the front and made the clutchless Smoother E standard on 2-tonne models.

When Mazda's E2000 — the truck that became the Titan — launched in January 1964, the factory was tasked with building 1,900 of them a month.
Swaraj Mazda built this truck under license in India from 1985, and the plant survived name changes all the way to SML Isuzu.
Indonesia built this pickup for 28 years with no successor, the last one leaving the Jakarta line in January 2019 after 324,960 units.
Suzuki's first-ever diesel engine, fitted to the Super Carry, is so small that it isn't able to power an air-conditioning system at all.
A right-hand-drive DJ-3A was built so postal drivers could reach roadside mailboxes without leaving the seat.
The Power Wagon name and civilian pickup design were derived directly from the WC-series military trucks Dodge built for World War II.
Suzuki kept the L20 Carry at the exact same 21 hp as its predecessor but still called it progress — the gain was a patented Cylinder Crank Injection lubrication system, not more power.
This generation of Titan quietly became the ancestor of two other trucks entirely: it was license-built by Kia as the Kia Titan in South Korea, and formed the basis of the Australian Ford Trader.
