Hino Motors Co., Ltd. ("Hino") will exhibit six vehicles including a world-premiere fuel cell bus concept model, a heavy-duty hybrid truck, and a light-duty truck equipped with even more advanced safety technology, as well as two engines, at the 44th Tokyo Motor Show 2015 to be held at the Tokyo Big Sight venue from Thursday October 29 to Sunday November 8. (Organized by Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association).

Our theme for the exhibition is "Delivering your dreams. Our Passion.". Together with people and objects, Hino's trucks and buses transport our passion and dreams and help support people's lives. Alongside exhibits of actual vehicles, Hino will also offer panel exhibits to help visitors understand Hino's advanced environmental and safety technologies and its efforts to support vehicle operations.

Hino Exhibition Overview

We will hold our exhibit in Tokyo Big Sight East Hall 1.

1. Fuel Cell Bus (exhibition vehicle for reference)

Concept model for the Fuel Cell Bus, as conceived by Hino.
The Fuel Cell Bus, which generates its own power using hydrogen as a fuel, features great environmental performance with zero CO2 emissions during travel, as well as providing an external power supply function. There are high hopes for this vehicle as a means of transportation to help build the hydrogen-powered society of the future, and as a member of the Toyota Group, Hino is furthering the technological development of the Fuel Cell Bus. At this motor show, underpinning the theme of "Mobility to Support a Livable Society" and considered from a universal design perspective, Hino is proposing a next-generation bus transportation system with a focus on the Fuel Cell Bus.

A hybrid truck based on our heavy-duty Hino Profia truck.
Hino's hybrid technology, which boasts long years of experience, has now been adopted for heavy trucks. The original concept was in pursuit of fuel consumption for heavy trucks running long distances, with the hybrid technology used not only for vehicle travel but also to power the electric refrigeration system.

7. Engine Exhibits

We are proud to present some actual exhibits of two highly efficient, low fuel-consumption engines.
The A09C engine, mainly fitted in our heavy-duty Hino Profia truck, is a downsizing engine with outstanding environmental performance. Since its launch in early 2007, it has been highly acclaimed for its excellent fuel consumption and great reliability. The A05C engine was based upon the A09C engine, and is mainly used as a downsizing engine for medium-duty trucks. While its basic structure is the same, its world-first introduction of Dimple Texturing on Liner Surface* and an ultra-high pressure common rail system make this a more advanced engine. Aside from being fitted in the Hino Ranger FE (just released on October 1 this year), the A05C engine will also be fitted in the Hino Blue Ribbon Hybrid to be released on December 1 this year.
