Predictable maintenance = fewer breakdowns, more time on the road
Optimized TCO = more profitability per truck, year after year
What if the purchase price of your truck is just the tip of the iceberg? For Canadian carriers, the real cost is in the hidden expenses: fuel, maintenance and downtime. This article reveals how Boucherville’s Hino trucks turn the Hino truck TCO (Total Cost Ownership) into an ally, thanks to their fuel-efficient diesel engines, legendary reliability and after-sales service that limits downtime. Because long-term savings are as simple as choosing the right road partner.
Hino Truck TCO: the true calculation of profitability
The true cost of a Hino truck goes far beyond its purchase price. Fuel, maintenance, downtime: each element weighs on the TCO. For Canadian carriers, this equation is solved by reliability and responsive after-sales service.
Beyond the purchase price, here are the black holes that will eat into your budget over 10 years:
- Unplanned downtime: every hour of downtime costs thousands in lost revenue
- Accelerated depreciation: an unreliable model loses value up to 30% faster
- Inflated insurance: premiums soar with frequent claims
- Wasted fuel: an ageing engine drinks 15% more after 5 years
- Corrective maintenance: urgent repairs cost 50% more than scheduled maintenance
Compared with a standard model, the Hino 195 pays for itself in 5 years, thanks to 40% lower mechanical costs and optimized fuel consumption. Unlike other, less reliable brands, every year of use reinforces its economic advantage – as Boucherville’s fleets testify.
Engine and maintenance: Cummins’ secrets to profitability
Under the hood of Hino’s L and XL series trucks, Cummins B6.7 and L9 engines aren’t there for show. Designed to endure the Canadian climate and Quebec roads, these diesel blocks combine performance and low operating costs, thanks to intelligent engine speed management, simplified architecture and high-quality components.
The result? Less maintenance, higher availability, and optimized TCO from the very first year.
Here is a table comparing the advantages of the engines fitted in Hino trucks with the market average:
| Maintenance type | Cummins B6.7 / L9 | Market average |
|---|---|---|
| Engine oil change | Up to 80,000 km (with oil analysis) | 15,000 - 20,000 km |
| Particulate filter (DPF) | Cleaning at 400,000 km | 150,000 - 250,000 km |
| Complete brake overhaul | 120,000 km | 30,000 - 50,000 km |
| Coolant replacement | 500,000 km or 5 years | 200,000 - 300,000 km or 2-3 years |
| Accessory belt | Up to 240,000 km | 60,000 - 160,000 km |
To remember:
Cummins B6.7 and L9 engines mean less heavy maintenance, less unplanned downtime and longer life for key components. For a fleet of 5 trucks, this can represent thousands of dollars saved over 3 to 5 years, in maintenance alone.
Like this Boucherville-based carrier, who has seen his mechanical costs drop by 40% in 5 years: “With Groupe National Hino Rive-Sud, maintenance becomes a formality, not a surprise”. By applying the recommended good maintenance practices, his annual savings are equivalent to the salary of an extra driver. The inherent robustness of Hino trucks means fewer visits to the workshop, while keeping costs under control.
