The is a retro-styled semi-tall kei car with rear sliding doors manufactured by the Japanese carmaker Daihatsu since 2016. Despite adopting the "Move" nameplate, the car shared its underpinnings with the Tanto instead.
The name "Canbus" is a combination of the verb "Can", describing the car's ability, and the noun "Bus", describing the car's bus-like shape and inspiration from the Volkswagen Type 2, which was also known as the "Bus".[1]

The Canbus is targeted towards the female sales demographic.[3]
