A heavy-duty safety concept truck "HINO Profia ASV" |
Hino has been proposing the next-generation safety vehicle ASV(Advanced Safety Vehicle) equipped with advanced safety technology and has been taking the initiative in the industry in steadily commercializing a wide range of safety
technologies such as the "Pre-crash Safety" for heavy duty truck HINO Profia, the world's first brake system for commercial vehicles designed to reduce rear-end collision damage, and "VSC(Vehicle Stability Control)", which controls the rolling and jack-knife phenomenon of trailers. This year, Hino proposes even more advanced safety technologies that support drivers' "good visibility", a basis of safety.
·The "Panoramic View Assist System", an advanced proposed technology, displays an image of the areas around the vehicle on the "Overhead Monitor" placed above the driver's head. This allows full visibility according to each driving situation, such as turning right/left and backing up. |

A medium-duty 4×4 truck "HINO Ranger", scheduled to participate in the Dakar Rally 2008 |
The "HINO Ranger", which is scheduled to very soon enter (January 5, Japan time) the 2008 "Dakar Rally (a.k.a. Paris-Dakar)", considered to be the hardest race in the world, will be displayed.
.Boasting outstanding "driving performance" and "durability", it first entered the "Paris-Dakar", the hardest race in the world, 17 years ago, and it has completed every race since. |

"A09C", a diesel engine that conforms to the 2005 (new long-term) emission regulations |
A diesel engine "A09C" was newly developed based on the latest concept of a fuel-efficient engine that displays high torque at low revolution speeds, and has been installed in the "Hino Profia", a heavy-duty truck, since spring. It is the latest diesel engine with a piston displacement of 8.9 L that is smaller-sized and ightweight, has both low emissions and low fuel consumption (low CO2 emissions) and achieves engine performance surpassing that of the conventional engine with a piston displacement of 10.5 L.
·"DPR", Hino's unique Clean Diesel System, has achieved an over 10 percent decrease in NOx compared to the new long-term emission regulation value and PM at the next-term regulation level.
·The main model of the "HINO Profia", a heavy-duty truck equipped with this engine, has cleared the "2015 fuel efficiency standards", achieving an improvement in economic efficiency and a reduction in CO2 emissions. |

Hybrid system for light-duty truck |
Hino released the Hino Dutro Hybrid in November 2003 as the world's first light-duty hybrid truck. While maintaining the conventional parallel system in which the engine is used alone for ordinary driving, the battery is recharged by recovering deceleration energy through regeneration when decelerating and braking and the engine is assisted by the motor when starting and accelerating, the new model vehicle is a further evolved advanced hybrid truck with a completely renovated hybrid unit developed through Hino's own unique technology nurtured over long years of hybrid vehicle development and sales activities.
·Hino has been working on the research of the diesel-electric hybrid system for commercial vehicle. We marketed the world's first large-sized hybrid route bus in 1991 and light-duty hybrid truck in 2003. Approx.4,000 Hino hybrid vehicles are taking an active part in Japan now. |
