The success of a business especially in moving goods to and from one place requires reliable transportation even before the pandemic disrupted the businesses. Not having reliable transportation leads to financial losses, irate customers and even a bad brand reputation.

Mindful of the need to ramp, Hino Motors Philippines Corporation (HMP), the exclusive distributor of Hino trucks and buses in the country, treats drivers to easy and enjoyable rides with its new Hino 300 equipped with fully automatic transmission. And more than the comfort, the reliability and durability will certainly provide peace of mind to every business owner.

Yes, we’re talking about the ever-reliable business partner, the Hino 300.

The Hino 300 series, known for its durability and reliability, has been the preferred partner of starting business owners and established enterprises alike. Now with a fully automatic variant, Hino is poised to fill the gap in the steadily increasing demand for small-lot delivery vehicles.

“The pandemic has prompted great changes in transportation and logistics. As e-commerce continues to grow, so does the need for more small cargo carriers and drivers who can conveniently operate them. Hino’s new light duty truck with a true automatic transmission addresses this concern, offering great ease in operability that even new and less-skilled drivers can drive with much confidence and safety,” said HMP President Mitsuharu Tabata.

Hino’s fully automatic truck, the XZU600LA, comes with an upgraded safety package consisting of an SRS airbag and Anti-lock Braking System (ABS). This makes Hino the first automotive company in the country to offer such features on a light duty truck. With a true automatic transmission, drivers get less fatigued, thereby improving attentiveness on the road. All these add to the overall safety of the driver, vehicle and cargo.

Furthermore, a fully automatic transmission eliminates all hassles on clutch maintenance and repairs. This also helps achieve a more consistent fuel consumption, which is crucial for trucks operating around the clock and drivers having different driving behaviors. A traditional manual transmission’s fuel consumption is greatly influenced by the driver’s skill. A fully automatic transmission, however, makes it easier for business owners to plan and rationalize their operations ahead of time. Overall, a true automatic truck provides real benefits for business owners such as more uptime on operations, lower maintenance costs and consistent fuel consumption, all of which lead to better profits.

The Hino 300 series comes in 11 variants for a wide range of loading capacity from 3,800 to 8,500kg gross vehicle weight. Equipped with a Euro 4-compliant N04C engine, these trucks pack superior power at 136 PS for the XZU302 to 600L and 150 PS for the XZU710 to 730L. On torque, these trucks pull up to 390Nm for the 302 to 600L and up to 420Nm on the 710 to 730L series. That’s higher power and efficiency compared to most light duty trucks in the market to tackle more load at any road condition.

The new Hino 300 series also features upgraded amenities such as USB and Bluetooth-capable entertainment system, built-in 4-piece air conditioning vents in select variants as well as power doors and windows and overhead consoles for added convenience.

“At Hino, we provide only the best for our customers. With this fully automatic truck, we intend to upgrade our drivers’ experience, giving much consideration for their safety and well-being while enabling them to perform their important role in our communities. This results in mutual benefits for all concerned — drivers, operators and their customers. Such is Hino’s Total Support promise — a holistic, reliable and trusted solutions in every aspect of our and our customers’ operations,” shared Tabata.

The dealership agreement signing highlights Hino’s continued commitment and capability to provide Total Support in the new normal. It was graced by Hino Motors Philippines representatives and was followed by the showroom’s blessing. Strict physical distancing and other health protocols were implemented during the event.

HMP President Mr. Mitsuharu Tabata who attended to grace the event said. “We recognize the developing truck market in Region IV and its potential as an industrial and commercial hub for businesses. Apart from its rich history and strong agro-industrial sector, the Alaminos municipality also has low susceptibility to landslides and flooding, making it a more favorable location for risk management and disaster control. We want to provide the people of South Luzon with a one-stop-shop – from the assembly of chassis and building of vehicle body based on client’s customization needs and preferences to vehicle repair, maintenance, and refurbishing. This is our way of bringing our Total Support promise to them,” shares

The dealership, strategically located in Km. 78, Brgy. San Benito, Alaminos, Laguna along Maharlika Highway, is easily accessible to neighboring cities and municipalities through a network of highways and bridges.

In line with Hino’s promise of providing long-term maintenance service and lifetime value to its customers, Hino Laguna dealership will be more than just a trucks and buses solutions hub and will serve as a complete 3S center offering sales, service and spare parts for 360-degree after-sales service.

Hino Laguna, with a total lot area of approximately 1,900 square meters, will be managed by Toyota San Pablo Chairman Mr. Richard Tan and President Mr. Ryan Tan.

With all these features, the Hino FL 10-wheeler truck is ready to cater to the various trucking and logistics needs of Filipinos nationwide.

We assure our customers of the Hino promise of reducing total running cost and downtime and maximizing lifetime value through the excellent quality of our aftersales services.”

For his part, HMP President Mitsuharu Tabata further highlighted the Hino FL 10-wheeler truck’s significance to Hino’s decades-long mission. “Every part of the new truck unit is engineered to deliver powerful performance. Like its predecessors, the truck bears the premium Japanese quality Hino is globally known for. This new truck embodies Hino’s mission of making the world a better place by helping people and goods get where they need to go – safely, economically, and environmentally responsible.”

Powerful truck performance

The new Hino 500 truck, which has a complete truck model name of FL8J, supports a load capacity of up to 18,620kg and a total gross vehicle weight of 26,000kg. It is powered by Hino J08E, a six-cylinder and Euro 4-compliant engine that delivers increased output, greater cooling, improved fuel efficiency, and lower carbon emission.

The truck uses a nine-speed manual transmission system and has 320L fuel capacity. It can reach up to 108kph maximum speed and 2,600rpm maximum engine speed, with 40.4 percent gradeability at full load capacity. Its suspension features semi-elliptical leaf springs on both the front and the rear sides.

Improved safety and comfort

Highlighting Hino’s emphasis on safety, the all-new Hino FL truck is equipped with full-air dual circuit brakes with anti-lock braking system (ABS), featuring leading and trailing shoe brake system with auto brake shoe adjuster and air operated spring brake to assist during parking.

The truck is built with Hino’s Easy Start (ES) technology, which assists the driver in safely maneuvering the vehicle during steep inclines by maintaining a breaking force that prevents the truck from rolling backward and making other accidental movements. The ES technology simultaneously allows the driver to reduce fatigue by resting their feet off the brake pedals and automatically releasing the brakes once the clutch is engaged. This feature, which operates in both forward and reverse gears, optimizes the truck’s overall performance by minimizing maintenance costs through reduced stress placed on the brakes and clutch while boosting driver comfort and safety. 

The easy-to-adjust seat suspension system is ergonomically designed to secure a smooth and safe ride for the driver and helps prevent back injuries. The truck’s air conditioning system, power windows and doors are all strategically assembled to boost the driver’s comfort, performance, and productivity.

Availability

The all-new Hino FL truck is available in all Hino 3S dealerships nationwide at the starting price of Php3.775M for a 32ft. body. Customers may request a quotation online through Hino’s official Facebook page or website.
