The Mitsubishi Delica, a popular range of vans and pickup trucks manufactured by Mitsubishi Motors since 1968, originated from a cabover van and pickup truck known as the Delica. The name "Delica" is a compact form of "Delivery car." Different versions of the Delica have been marketed under various names in different regions. In Europe, Jamaica, and New Zealand, it was sold as the L300 and later the L400. In Australia, it was branded as Express and Starwagon, while in the United States, it was simply known as Mitsubishi Van and Wagon. The passenger car variants were initially named Delica Star Wagon until the introduction of the Delica Space Gear in 1994. The Space Gear model was commonly referred to simply as Space Gear in Europe. The most recent iteration, known as the Delica D:5, is not available as a commercial vehicle and represents the evolution of the Delica series. Key Points: 1.
