062620HIno3 Hino aims to keep the country moving with the launch of the newest addition to its 500 series of medium-duty trucks, the all-new Hino FL 10-wheeler. Unveiled in a Facebook livestream launch by Hino Motors Philippines (HMP), exclusive distributor of Hino trucks and buses, the all-new Hino FL 10-wheeler truck is a medium-duty truck with improved safety and comfort, superior reliability and optimum fuel economy. The FL 10-wheeler truck is designed to cater to the various trucking and logistics needs of Filipinos nationwide. 062620HIno1 Powerful performance The new Hino 500 truck, called the FL8J, supports a load capacity of up to 18,620-kg and a total gross vehicle weight of 26,000-kg. It is powered by the Hino J08E, a six-cylinder, Euro 4-compliant engine that delivers 280-PS and 824-Nm of torque. This is paired to a nine-speed manual transmission system, allowing it to reach maximum speed of 108 kph at 2,600rpm maximum engine speed. Its semi-elliptical leaf springs on both the front and the rear side. It’s also capable of a 40.4 percent gradeability at full load capacity. 062620HIno2 Improved safety and comfort Besides performance, the FL also comes with several comfort and safety improvements. Bringing it to a stop are full-air dual circuit brakes with anti-lock braking system (ABS), featuring leading and trailing shoe brake system with auto brake shoe adjuster and air operated spring brake to assist during parking. The truck is built with Hino’s Easy Start (ES) technology, which allows the driver to start rolling on steep inclines by maintaining a braking force as he moves his foot from the brake to the accelerator. This system prevents the truck from rolling backward. ES technology also reduces driver fatigue, negating the need to rest his feet on the brake pedals. The system automatically releases the brakes once the clutch is engaged. The ES feature operates in both forward and reverse gears, reducing stress on the brakes and clutch while improving driver comfort and safety. It also equates to savings down the line by minimizing maintenance costs. The FL also provides a smooth and safe ride for the driver with its easy-to-adjust seat suspension system, designed to provide more comfort and help prevent back injuries. The truck is also fitted with air conditioning, power windows, and ergonomic doors handles for the driver’s comfort, performance and productivity. Providing Total Support “We at Hino will always be a committed and solid business partner that continuously innovates and adapts to the changing needs of our customers. With this new Hino truck, we aim to partner with more businesses and establishments and support more Filipinos in this time of need. We assure our customers of the Hino promise of reducing total running cost and downtime and maximizing lifetime value through the excellent quality of our aftersales services,” said HMP Chairman Vicente T. Mills, Jr. “Every part of the new truck unit is engineered to deliver powerful performance. Like its predecessors, the truck bears the premium Japanese quality Hino is globally known for. This new truck embodies Hino’s mission of making the world a better place by helping people and goods get where they need to go – safely, economically and environmentally responsibly,” said HMP President Mitsuharu Tabata. Availability The all-new Hino FL truck is available in all Hino 3S dealerships nationwide at a starting price of PhP3.775M for a 32ft. body. Customers may request a quotation online through Hino’s official Facebook page or website. By Iñigo S. Roces
