While the arrival of Hine into the tipper truck arena has been an unwelcome nuisance to the rest of the market, the company's ambitions in the light truck sector are a much bigger test of Hino's mettle. It's one thing to sell tippers to a market smarting from the closure of the family favourite Foden, but another to establish a new brand in a market unaccustomed to buying unproven vehicles β just ask Mitsubishi and lsuzu.
The 300 Series Hino looks to have the credentials to make some in-roads β a 4.0-litre common rail diesel motor provides 150hp to get the goods moving, while a stylish cab and claimed 2,600kg chassiscab tare weight mean the Irish-built machine will give Isuzu a run for its money on overall operational efficiency.
Hino will have a tough job establishing itself in this sector with an unknown product and unproven βfor distribution applications β dealer network. The 'will' is there for the brand to realise success, the 'way' will need to be shown in service.
