Hino Launches Two New LCV Models
Hino Motors (M) Sdn Bhd has recently launched two new LCV models for the local mar- ket – Eco Turbo and Tough Plus, which complement the current Hino 300 series Light Commercial Vehicle.
The 4 wheeler Eco Turbo (WU302R) is the first Japa- nese model with a GVW of 5 ton and is claimed to of- fer more power combined with a competitive market price. Meanwhile, the 6 wheeler Tough Plus ( 5 ton/ WU342R), capable of extra load handling with high du- rability and more power, is designed for heavy usage in palm oil estates (CPO) and construction sites. Both models are equipped with Turbo-intercooler engines, which Hino claims can maxi- mise engine performance and decrease the amount of harmful gasses. In addition, the Turbo-intercooler model is claimed to be powerful as well as offering low fuel con- sumption.
According to Hino, these two models are specially devel- oped for the ASEAN coun- tries and therefore take local requirements into consider- ation. They offer supreme durability and improved economy. At present, there are more than 50,000 units operating throughout Indo- nesia with no major power line and turbo intercooler problems reported.
Hino is now at its second stage of changing the Light Commercial Vehicle Cul- ture. To facilitate the culture change initiative, Hino is in- troducing its Free Service Program (FSP) , Customer
Service(CS) Contest and Training Programs to its employees. FSP dem- onstrates Hino’s commit- ment in providing best af- ter sales care for all Hino LCV trucks that have been sold and registered since 1st November 2010. It is a free service campaign, which allows customers to send their vehicles to any Hino authorised service dealer for mileage checks at 5,000km, 15,000km and 25,000 respectively. The free service offer in- cludes parts, lubricants and labour.
The company also claims to have set another sales record. According to Hino, as of October 2011, the company still occupies the top position with a 34% market share in both the LCV category and in terms of total registrations. By the end of 2011, the com- pany is targeting to sell a total of more than 7000 units.
