Robust chassis

The chassis of Hino trucks is tough! No wonder: it’s built from high-performance steel, directly inspired by Japanese expertise. This design ensures a long service life, which is a definite advantage over other brands. But what materials are used in this chassis?

This sturdy chassis offers considerable advantages for professionals operating in demanding environments such as construction or long-distance logistics. To find out more, don’t hesitate to contact us. By the way, what kind of weight can this chassis support?

To illustrate this, let’s look at a few concrete examples:

  • Construction sites: The Hino L6’s high-performance steel chassis excels particularly well at transporting construction materials. It easily withstands the heavy weights and tough conditions encountered on construction sites.
  • Urban deliveries: the Hino S4 and S5 series, with their rugged yet maneuverable chassis, are ideal for transporting parcels and goods around town.
  • Special transport : The Hino L7, with its low-profile chassis and automatic transmission, has been designed specifically for transporting beverages and other heavy loads requiring special configuration.
  • Heavy-duty towing: The high-power Hino L6L with its reinforced chassis and high towing capacity is perfectly suited to heavy-duty towing missions.
  • Intensive use: The Hino 358 with its 120,000 psi chassis and consolidated axles is designed for extreme conditions such as transporting construction materials or tankers.

In short, the robust chassis of Hino trucks translates into great versatility and reliability in a wide range of professional applications.

Cummins B6.7 and L9 engines

The Cummins B6.7 engine powering Hino’s L-series trucks has been designed to deliver outstanding fuel efficiency while meeting the most demanding environmental standards. This Hino-Cummins alliance is a real asset in terms of quality and reliability. But then… what’s the average fuel consumption of this engine?

Clearly, the robustness of the Cummins B6.7 engine is particularly advantageous for professionals, since it drastically reduces downtime – a significant economic benefit. Japanese know-how goes hand in hand with financial gains, and what’s more… what’s the recommended interval between overhauls?

This table compares the key features of the Cummins B6.7 and L9 engines used in Hino trucks, highlighting their differences in terms of warranty, fuel compatibility, power, torque and emissions treatment.

Allison transmission

The Allison transmission is like an orchestra conductor for your Hino truck. It ensures smooth gear changes and adapts intelligently to load variations. Particularly appreciated by seasoned truckers. But by the way, how does this system improve safety when climbing mountains?

By working closely with the engine, this transmission enables Hino trucks to consume less fuel. A powerful economic argument. And with good reason: it manages fuel consumption with great precision, while ensuring consistent performance. Don’t hesitate to contact us for more details. What concrete benefits can we expect?

High-performance braking system

Hino trucks benefit from a braking system that uses both hydraulic and pneumatic technologies. This system reduces stopping distances, a real safety advantage. But what happens when the truck is fully loaded? This is a crucial question for the professionals who use these vehicles.

Let’s take a look at maintenance: it’s simplified thanks to a modular design and genuine parts. This approach also enhances the value of the Hino after-sales network, and as Hino parts remain relatively accessible, the question arises: where can I find certified original parts for reliable, long-lasting repairs?

Hino Insight Fleet Management

Hino stands out as a benchmark in automotive connectivity for its trucks. This is made possible by real-time monitoring and maintenance anticipation functionalities. Let’s see what key indicators we’re monitoring? Singularly, Hino has set up a system to monitor a number of key parameters and anticipate problems before they arise.

Reducing logistics costs by optimizing routes has a direct impact on decision-makers. But Hino trucks represent an investment. In concrete terms, what return can you expect over three years?

Questions about the benefits of Hino trucks (FAQ)

Who makes Hino trucks?

Hino trucks are manufactured by Hino Motors, Ltd. a Japanese company that is part of the Toyota Group. Originally called Tokyo Gas and Electric Industries Co. Hino began building trucks in 1917.

After the Second World War, Hino had to concentrate on truck and bus production. In May 2023, Hino Motors and Mitsubishi Fuso announced that they intended to merge their activities around 2024.

Hino is often perceived as a reliable truck brand, especially thanks to the sturdiness of certain models such as the L6. Its strengths include a reinforced chassis, a high-performance Cummins engine and an advanced fleet management system. This is a considerable asset for professionals.

It’s worth noting, however, that Hino has been embroiled in a scandal involving the falsification of pollutant emissions data. Although this has no direct impact on vehicle safety, it can influence people’s opinion of the brand’s reliability.

The long-term warranty on Hino trucks covers a number of important components, such as the frame rails and crossmembers, the cab (against corrosion) and the Allison automatic transmission (2000/3000 series), with warranties of up to 60 months and unlimited mileage.

Certain Hino models, those equipped with Cummins B6.7 engines, benefit from a 3-year warranty with unlimited mileage. In addition, Hino offers a preventive care plan and HINOWATCH roadside assistance during the first years of use.
