First of all, a bakkie is only known as a “bakkie” in South Africa. Each country seems to have its own term for a bakkie. For example, in Australia they are known as a Ute, short for a utility vehicle and in America they are simply known as a truck.
A very interesting term for a bakkie comes from Japan where they are known as a Pikkuapputorakku.In South Africa, people of all language groups use the term bakkie, an alternative word for bak, which means bowl in Afrikaans.
But why is a bakkie so popular?
A bakkie is popular due to its ability to transport small to medium loads around easily and efficiently. In addition to this, they can easily be used as a family vehicle. Many businesses also rely on a bakkie or a fleet of bakkies for their day to day operations.
