Mazda Bongo , also known as Mazda E-Series , Mazda Access , and Ford Econovan , is a cab van and pickup truck produced by Japanese car manufacturer Mazda from 1966 to 2018. After Bongo was discontinued, there was no Bongo's successor as Mazda would focus on building an economy car. It has been built with a rear, middle, and front engine. It also forms the basis for the long-running Kia Bongo range. Named for Africa Bongo, a type of antelope.

Generasi pertama (1966-1975)
Mazda first introduced its small van, Bongo, in May 1966. The aircraft featured a water-cooled, water-cooled OHV <850 cc cooler <4> engine, propelling the rear wheels. The rear-engined bongo was produced in two versions from 1968, as the F800 joins the large-engined F1000. It has a 987Ã, cc PB overline valve inline-four engines with 48 PS (35 kW) at 5500 rpm. The chassis code for the 1 liter model is FPA. Mazda also shows an electric version of the van, which can reach 75 km/h (47 mph) and with a range of 60 km (37 mi). It remains a prototype. The engine is divided by a small car line Mazda Familia. Production ended in 1975, as Mazda suffered serious economic problems and tighter emissions regulations to come for 1976. This model retains the same body shape for a 10-year production period, subsequent models equipped with an inertial- reel, and parking a separate front indicator light.
The rear-engined bongos have full chassis (using the same Mazda 1000 engine with another variant mounted to the four-speed transaxle on the back) and are very strong and due to low gear, capable of carrying half a ton. Due to rust and poor maintenance, this Bongo is now rare. Pickup 1000 and Bongo chassis is different, with front suspension and common brake components.

Second generation (1977-1983)
The next Bongo car appeared in September 1977. It was a rear-wheel drive vehicle in the center of the machine. Ford sold this van version as Ford Econovan , while Mazda sold it for export as E1300 , E1400 and E1600 , depending on engine size. Beginning in February 1980, a 2.2-liter diesel engine is also available, sold in exports as E2200 . This generation is also produced by Kia in South Korea, such as Kia Bongo and Ceres. Bongo/Ceres underwent a number of facelifts and was still available until the end of 1999. Because of the E1600, this model went on sale in the United Kingdom in 1982, just a year before it was replaced. The UK market only received a 1-ton long panel panel van version with a small twin rear wheel. The British model has a five-speed manual gearbox with column shifter attached.
The original version has round headlights and no grille; after the second generation facelift Bongo/E-series has a rectangular lamp and a more traditional grille. This happened in January 1981.
In Australia, the rebadged version is sold as Ford Econovan as a SWB gasoline van (with and without side windows), LWB gasoline vans (with and without side windows), and LWB diesel vans (no windows). SWB and LWB window-wheeled van vans are also sold in the Ford Econowagon form of passenger. The luxury-oriented passenger model is sold under the name of Ford Spectron as an eight-roof high roof.

The entry-level Econovan offers a 1.8-liter petrol engine along the 4-meter (13.1 ft), five-speed manual four-speed automatic, a single rear wheel, in a three-seater steel-side window or six XL-sided form seats. Prior to 1986, there was also a 1.4-liter engine and a five-speed manual option available as a steel-side van with single or double rear wheels, and as a passenger XL van carrying one-rear wheels.

Double rear wheels are available for 2.0 liter petrol or 2.2 liter diesel, both with a five-speed manual and as a steel-side van.
The 5.7 meter (15.4 ft) long Econovan Maxi van is also high roofed, but only the steel side. The Powertrain and rear wheel settings are the same as the 4.4-meter Maxi. In 1986, four-wheel drive became an option for the 4.7-meter long model in conjunction with a windowed body work, a manual transmission, and a 2.0-liter engine. The cabin chassis version is offered on a 4.7 meter chassis, with a 2.0-liter petrol engine with a five-speed manual. It is available as a two-door, three-seat model with a 1.5-ton (3,300 pound) load and as a four-door "Crew Cab", six seats with a 1.4 ton (3.100 pound) charge.
In December 1985, Ford renewed Econovan in Australia to improve unleaded gasoline engines. The 4.0-meter Econovan gasoline engine mounted in displacements from 1.4 to 1.8 liters, and the 4.4-meter Maxi has a gasoline engine up from 1.8 to 2.0 liters. Econovan 4.0 and 4.4 meters also have the availability of four automatic speeds, previously only installed for Spectron cars. The 4.7 meter Maxi van, previously only available with dual rear wheels, is now also available with a single rear wheel, although cabin and cabin cabin models remain as a double rear wheel proposition. Ford states that all petrol and gasoline manual 4.4-meter Maxi is designed to run on leaded and unleaded fuel, although a 4.0-meter automatic gasoline will only run unbalanced. At the same time as this powertrain update, Ford also made some cosmetic changes to Spectron. The low-roof spectrum adds color-colored bumpers and new side lines, matching the new cream beige interior trim, and on the colored beige interior XLT switches to gray.
