What is HINO’s characteristic?

Hino trucks have the most powerful engine horsepower among 4 main truck brands in Japan. Also, it is famous as the reason that it tends to have less problems even if we ride the truck in severe conditions.

 

Also, in Japan, there are many Hino maintenance shops, and has good after-service, so it can be said that the trucks are well maintained, thus they can be used for longer time.

 

We have been introduced good points of Hino, however there are some disadvantages you should keep in your mind.

 

The running cost is cheaper because their trucks have less problems, but the initial cost is little bit higher when you buy brand new one.
However, this is for the situation if you buy a brand new one in Japan. If you want to get used ones, you can lower buying cost than other three brands as not so many people know the good points of HINO very well.
