Hino Motors Co., Ltd. ("Hino") will exhibit five vehicles, including the new generation HINO700 Series, the HINO500 Series, and the small-sized HINO Poncho EV community bus, as well as two engines, at the 45th Tokyo Motor Show 2017 to be held at the Tokyo Big Sight venue from Friday, October 27, to Sunday, November 5. (Organized by the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association).
Hino's theme for the exhibition is "Trucks And Buses That Do More". This theme incorporates Hino's desire to convey people and goods more efficiently and safely, and to be more useful in supporting people's lives. Alongside exhibits of actual vehicles, Hino will also present exhibits to help visitors understand Hino's advanced environmental and safety technologies and its efforts to support vehicle operations. Hino will also introduce its thinking about the future of logistics and human mobility via appealing video. The Hino stand is located in East Hall 1, Tokyo Big Sight.
Overview of Hino Exhibits
1. HINO700 Series (Japan model, commercially available)
A heavy-duty truck that has undergone its first comprehensive model change in 14 years - the new HINO700 Series. Both interior and exterior have been changed, and its already well-regarded safety and economic efficiency have been further improved to comply with 2016 emission standards.
The vehicle features advanced safety equipment such as the PCS* pre-collision damage mitigation braking system capable of detecting pedestrians and a lane departure warning system provided as standard equipment. By downsizing the main 279kW (380PS) engine from 13L to 9L, Hino has achieved substantial weight saving.
This is a truck that drivers love to drive - a truck that earns its keep.
