I'm guessing it's Chinese.
It looks like a HuaYang (or perhaps Anhui Huayang) van.
The BHQ1020B model looks similar to this, but since they seem to have a ton of model numbers I'm not sure if this is exact.
This is a modern van, probably built within the past three years.
BHQ6406B is another possible model designation.

This van is very similar to the last-generation Daihatsu Hijet (1999-2005), but the HuaYang models use a different grille pattern.

LOCKED for bubenator

You included a lot of information in your last post.  It is easier for puzzler posters, if you ask one question at a time..

I locked this puzzle, because you included the manufacturer name in your post.  This is a Daihatsu.  Not named Hijet.

Ok, well, I thought for sure I had it covered by the Huayang suggestion, but since it IS a Daihatsu...

This is a Daihatsu Atrai 7 built around 2002.  The 'Atrai' name is simply the passenger version of the Hijet.

Surprisingly enough, the Atrai 7 of these years is essentially a rebadged Toyota Sparky.

Another point for bubenator, for providing the correct answer.

When posted, I didn't know the "7" was actually part of the name.  While finding the country of origin, I found several rear-view images, clearly showing "Atrai 7".

I thought it interesting, that passenger Hijets after about 1999, were front-engined like this Atria, while the commercial Hijets remained mid-ish engined.

Since I'm trying to avoid reposts, here are a couple images that might prove helpful to future puzzlers.
Here are pictures of the Daihatsu Atrai 7, the Toyota Sparky, and the Anhui Huayang BHQ1020B.
