Cushman van?

Had to stop by a job site this AM before work to swap out some parts;
saw something I hadn't seen before. A little van, looking more than
anything like a scale model of one of those new Freightliner things,
with a big "CUSHMAN" emblem on the back. It looked like it was
intended to be a road going vehicle, with a space for a license plate
and all, but there was a prominent sticker on the tailgate saying "not
legal for highway use." I'm guessing that this is some offshore
product that Cushman is private labeling for utility use? anyone know
anything about these? I'm just curious, and a (very) cursory web
search didn't turn up anything.

There's nothing like what I saw on their web site, that I can find...
odd. This thing looked for all the world like a roadgoing vehicle,
although it was marked as I said.

That looks like a stock Japanese ( or other asian ) small van.
