SAFER CLEANER CONNECTED

The potentially punishing climb back up Mount Ousley is handled easily by the Hino with the transmission not needing to drop below ninth gear.

THAT’S ANOTHER HINO

This new Hino 700 Series boasts the most comprehensive safety package ever offered in a Hino truck including Driver Monitor (DM) which has been added to the Hino SmartSafe package. Driver Monitor features driver assistance technologies which take an active focus on protecting the lives of drivers, passengers and other road users. The system constantly monitors the driver’s attention towards the road using key metrics such as driving posture, face orientation, and eyelid status via a camera unobtrusively integrated into the A-pillar. The system provides a visual

The overall Hino SmartSafe package also includes a Pre-Collision System (PCS) with Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB), Pedestrian Detection (PD), Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS), Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Reverse Camera and a suite of other standard safety features including a driver’s airbag. The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) maintains the speed set by the driver while continuously scanning the road in front of the truck. If a slower vehicle is detected in front, the ACC can reduce the engine acceleration and even engage the auxiliary braking, adapting the truck’s speed to that of the vehicle in front.

The E13C-BK 13-litre engine delivers a peak power of 480hp (353kW) and

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.

2157Nm of torque, which is now available across a wider range between 1,000 and 1,500rpm, delivering the opportunity for improved drivability and fuel efficiency. A 450hp rating is also an option. The Euro 6 exhaust emissions compliance is met using a combination of the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system, cooled Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) and a reliable Hino Diesel Particulate Active Reduction Filter (DPR). The engine is matched to the latest generation of the ZF TraXon 16-speed Automated Manual Transmission (AMT), making Hino’s heavy duty offering exclusively available as a two pedal configuration with the 9-litre versions coupled with a six-speed Allison full automatic. The transmission is controlled with dial gear selector for Drive, Neutral and Reverse, and features a slow mode in forward and reverse for improved manoeuvrability control. The dash-mounted dial selector is complemented by a sequential type shift lever on the steering column which allows the driver to easily switch the transmission mode between automatic and manual, and also manually select gears without having to take their hands off the steering wheel. For us, the novelty of manual shifting quickly wears off and allowing the electronics to make
