Hyundai Galloper
The Hyundai Galloper, which was produced in the models Exceed, innovation and Van / Wagon by Hyundai Precision & Industry Company Limited in the years 1991 to 2003, was a licensed production of the Mitsubishi Pajero in the last stage of development L040. The Hyundai Precision & Industry Company Limited is part of the Hyundai Group, but has nothing to do with the car manufacturer Hyundai Motor Company. For this reason, never was the Hyundai emblem to find the vehicle. In the countries in which the model was not sold on the respective Hyundai General Importer, had Galloper out as a separate brand. The vehicles had been there therefore sold through individual agents. In Germany and Spain, the model was marketed including as Mitsubishi Galloper. In Iceland, the models were sold with automatic transmission as Galloper TCI.

The lifetime of the gearbox was difficult to calculate: On some vehicles, it held more than 250,000 km, in other not even 40,000 km. Problems very often prepared, the turbodiesel engine, the glow plug system in combination with the immobilizer led to many a failure to boot. The rust -prone bodywork was the original problem, the Galloper well.
