Truck-maker highlights auto drive and Euro 6 engine
In a nod to customer preference, Hino Australia has confirmed its expanded range of all-new 700 Series trucks will be available exclusively with two-pedal transmissions.
“Built as a vehicle for today and for the future, the all-new 700 Series will offer customers the convenience of either a true automatic or an automated manual transmission, which are matched to their respective engine power ratings,” says Daniel Petrovski, manager of product strategy for Hino Australia.
“Over the last 15 years, there has been a distinct shift away from manual transmissions towards two-pedal options.”

Hino says it is the only Japanese manufacturer to offer a true automatic transmission across its light, medium and heavy-duty model ranges.
It has also confirmed that the all-new 700 Series will be its cleanest heavy-duty truck yet, while also being designed for improved fuel efficiency.
“Like the 500 Series Standard Cab, the all-new Hino 700 Series will exceed the current Australian exhaust emission standards,” Petrovski says.
“The new models will meet Euro 6 exhaust emission standards before they are legislated in Australia.
“The all-new 700 Series will break new ground for Hino in terms of safety and environmental commitment, which are key features in today’s competitive marketplace.”
