The Hyundai Porter (Hangul:현대 포터), also known as the Hyundai H-100, is a cabover Pickup truck produced by the South Korean manufacturer Hyundai since 1977.[2]
The first generation, launched in January 1977, was called the Hyundai HD1000 and was available in both truck and minibus (3 and 12-seater van, ambulance) versions. The truck was called the Porter. The HD1000 was discontinued in 1981.

It was built with the following body styles: 2-door truck, 4-door truck, 3-door van and 4-door van.
The upgraded second generation was a facelifted version of the second generation model. Round headlights, a steering wheel from the 1991 Sonata, and the dashboard from the newer Grace, were the main differences. In The Netherlands, it was called Hyundai H150.
The 1993 Porter was available with a regular cab, an extended cab, or a double cab. The diesel four-cylinder engine was called the Cyclone D4BX,[3] a Hyundai-built version of Mitsubishi's 4D56 2.5 liter four-cylinder.
The third generation, called the New Porter that based on Hyundai Grace, was launched in March 1996. It was built as a 2- and 4-door truck and a 3- and 4-door van. In South Africa, it was known as the Hyundai Bakkie. In The Netherlands, it was called Hyundai H150. In Malaysia, it was known as Inokom Lorimas. In Pakistan, it entered production in 1999 and was called the Hyundai Shehzore.[4]
