SAFER CLEANER CONNECTED

the decisions provides for a smoother journey and better fuel economy. The Hino Easy Start system is a hill holder which assists with smooth take-offs after stopping on a slope.

All 700 Series models now feature an Electronic Brake System (EBS) and have moved from an S-cam brake system to the Hino Taper Roller brake system, which reduces tare weight, decreases compressed air requirements, provides a smoother more consistent brake feel and uses less moving parts, resulting in reduced maintenance requirements and lower operating costs.

THAT’S ANOTHER HINO

The Hino 700 Series is the only Japanese heavy-duty truck with a genuine Jacobs Engine Brake which improves driveability and operational efficiency and all 13-litre models receive additional auxiliary braking from the ZF Intarder, which is integrated into the rear of the transmission and can be controlled by a wand lever on the steering column. The synchronised braking capabilities of the Hino 700 are impressive with evidence such as setting the speed at 39 km/h at the top of Mount Ousley and having the truck hold itself steady for the entire descent with minimal input from the driver.

The 3.9:1 rear axles ride on a significantly redesigned six rod mechanical suspension. Noticeable here is the improved articulation, lower tare weight and improvement in payload capabilities compared to previous models. At the test weight the ride is exceptionally smooth. On the outside the Hino 700 has a distinctive new bold new look which includes a new enlarged chrome grille and automatic LED headlamps complemented by daytime running lamps set in the bumper. Polished Alcoa alloy wheels are standard equipment and lower the tare weight considerably compared to steel wheels. Our test circuit covers 250 kilometres and according to the Hino’s calculator we are able to return a very creditable 1.9 km/lt fuel efficiency despite tackling long pulls such as Mount Ousley. With a wider range of axle configurations, an increased number of engine power ratings and now an exclusively two-pedal transmission lineup, the all-new Hino 700 Series models will suit more customer applications and operating requirements. It seems that virtually every new model of a Japanese truck comprehensively improves upon its predecessors and competitors. The all-new Hino 700 is no different and is arguably a contender to take the baton as the best heavy duty Japanese truck on the current market.

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
