Jayatsu Motor Company is a Korean manufacturer of automobiles. Jayatsu Motor Company was originally founded in 1980 as So Motors.

So Motors

So Motors was created in 1980 as an experiment. It was a test to see if So Manufacturing could create a successful car. The car was the So Shi-Tei. The Shi-Tei was a compact car powered by the Si4. The Shi-Tei turned out to be a minor success until 1987 when sales began to fall. Production of the Shi-Tei stopped in January 1994.

The Shi-Tei was brought back into production in 2002 by Am-Kor Limited. Am-Kor has turned the Shi-Tei into a minor success. Outside of Korea, the car is known as the So Car. So Motors announced an electric version in 2008 named the So EC-1. In 2009, So Motors made a deal with Richards Motor Company to sell cars in North America.
