SAFER CLEANER CONNECTED
THAT’S ANOTHER HINO
The new Hino 700 range now features an Electronic Braking System (EBS) combined with the Hino Taper Roller brake system, which enhances braking performance and reduces maintenance requirements. Hino has moved from S-cam braking to the taper roller design to reduce tare weight, decrease compressed air requirements, and deliver a smoother brake feel for the driver. The reduced maintenance is due to less moving parts. The braking performance is significantly boosted by the engine’s Jacobs Brake which provides perfect speed control on declines such as Mount Ousley. The effects of the blended braking system is as good as anything from Europe. Hino’s approach to safety is further showcased by the integration of its SmartSafe system which has Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) as its cornerstone and now includes a Pre-Collision System (PCS) with Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB), Pedestrian Detection (PD), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS), Reverse Camera and a suite of other standard safety features including a driver’s airbag and a pre-tensioning seatbelt integrated into the ISRI seat. The driver’s seat has significantly increased aft travel compared with previous 700 Series and in combination with the multi adjustable steering column, should accommodate any driver’s physique. The LDWS incorporates a ‘weaving’ warning

Find out more at hino.com.au confidence achieved from being aware the 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 in almost all conditions.
