SAFER CLEANER CONNECTED

THAT’S ANOTHER HINO

THE ALL-NEW 700 SERIES, BUILT FOR THE FUTURE.

The new Hino 700 Series rewrites the rules in safety, emissions and connectivity. It’s our safest truck ever, with an enhanced Hino SmartSafe package including Pre-Collision System, Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Warning System and Driver Monitor. Designed to meet Euro 6 exhaust emission standards, it’s the cleanest Hino heavy-duty yet. With Hino-Connect as standard, customers benefit from superior business intel and support – it’s next-generation telematics delivered in real-time. The all-new 700 Series is the truck of the future, here today. Find out more at hino.com.au

THAT’S ANOTHER HINO

Departure Warning System (LDWS), Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Reverse Camera and a suite of other standard safety features. Due to the requirements of local certiﬁcation procedures SmartSafe will be included on the 8x4 models from early in 2022. Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) is considered as the cornerstone of the Hino SmartSafe active safety system and was ﬁrst introduced on Hino 300 Series models in 2011. VSC continually monitors the steering angle, wheel rotation speed, yaw rate and lateral G forces and working in conjunction with the brake and engine control systems, VSC can help prevent the truck from rolling over when entering or exiting a corner too fast. VSC is also able to enhance vehicle stability on slippery surfaces by autonomously reducing engine power and applying the brakes to individual wheels, helping to keep the truck on the driver’s intended path.

The new Driver Monitor system has been added into the Hino SmartSafe package and constantly monitors the driver’s attention towards the road using key metrics such as driving posture, face orientation, and eyelid status via a camera integrated into the A-pillar. The system provides a visual and audible alert if it detects drowsiness or a lack of attention from the driver.

First introduced on the Hino 500 Series Standard Cab in 2019 followed by the 300 Series in 2020, Hino’s Pre-Collision System (PCS) is an active safety system which can detect potential collisions with another vehicle via image and radar sensors by continuously scanning the road in front of the truck and can assist the driver to actively minimise the type of accidents that regularly occur through driver distraction or poor judgement. The driver is warned both audibly and visually on the LCD Multi Information Display if it predicts a collision is likely to occur. If the driver fails to react to the imminent danger, PCS can, as a last resort, engage Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) to apply the brakes to minimise the vehicle’s speed and subsequent damage in the event of a collision, or in some circumstances, assist the driver to avoid the collision altogether. Pedestrian Detection is designed to detect a pedestrian in front of the vehicle and will respond in a similar way.

At a global and Australian level Hino is involved in a number of joint ventures, partnerships and collaborations aimed at reducing emissions and waste. The Hino Environmental Challenge 2050 has, as a key component of the global program, Hino’s aim to reduce the carbon dioxide emissions of its vehicles by 90 per cent, which includes the development of next-generation vehicles such as plug-in hybrids, battery and fuel cell electric vehicles.
