The Autozam Scrum, later known as Mazda Scrum, is a cabovermicrovan and kei truck sold exclusively in Japan by Japanese automaker Mazda. Originally part of the company's Autozammarque, it was first introduced in June 1989 (DG41, DH41 for 4WD versions). Mazda still sells the Scrum under its own name. The Scrum is a rebadged version of the Suzuki Carry/Every and used Suzuki engines. The first model year had 550-cc Suzuki F5B engines producing 34PS (25kW), or 52PS (38kW) with an intercooled turbo; after only nine months, this generation was replaced by the larger-engined DG/DH51 (660cc, 38PS or 28kW, 58PS or 43kW with a turbo) as the kei car standards were changed that year.[1]
The Mazda Scrum uses a 660-cc, three-cylinder engine in a variety of specifications including turbocharged, and is available with either four-wheel drive(4WD) or two-wheel drive (2WD). The 4WD version can also be switched between 4WD and 2WD and has high- and low-gear ranges.
The name "scrum" comes from a maneuver from the game of rugby, signifying toughness.
