Hino trucks and buses are up 22.9% on last year, and it has bucked the trend in the heavy duty segment by posting a 6.7% increase against an industry average drop of 7%.

“It is a challenging climate for selling trucks,” admits Hino chief executive Steve Lotter, “but I have no doubt that Hino Australia will work with the same vigour that earned us these great results for the remaining months of 2015.”.

Whether it can continue the sales stampede until the doors close for Christmas remains to be seen with serious competition coming from other manufacturers.
