Strong, Smart, and Smooth for Your Business

Designed to meet the evolving demands of Malaysia’s logistics and transport sectors, the new HINO 300 Series Euro 5 models combine enhanced engine performance, improved fuel efficiency, and advanced safety features.

These upgrades reflect Hino’s commitment to supporting its customers through stricter emission regulations and a growing need for safer, more sustainable commercial vehicles.

“This model is not just a truck. It is our answer to changing customer needs. With better fuel efficiency, more comfort, and a safer driving experience, we want to help our customers grow their business with confidence,” said Mr. Takahashi.


STRONG – Power That Moves Businesses Forward

The new HINO 300 Series Euro 5 delivers new engine performance with 150PS and 420Nm torque, providing consistent flat torque for long hauls without high RPM strain.

Built on a reinforced high-tensile steel chassis (540 N/mm²), it offers stronger load capacity, safety, and durability. An upgraded 80 Amp alternator also supports high-demand applications such as refrigerated bodies.


SMART – Intelligent Features for Modern Transport

HINO-CONNECT telematics brings real-time fleet insights with tracking, driver behaviour analysis, fuel monitoring, SOS alerts, and service reminders.

Inside, the redesigned front grille, refreshed interior with silver trims, power window controls, and a new 7″ touchscreen infotainment system with navigation and smartphone connectivity elevate comfort and convenience.


SMOOTH – Smoother Drives with Enhanced Transmission

Customers can choose between Automatic Transmission (AT) and Manual Transmission (MT).

The AT comes with a sequential gear shift system that makes city driving easier and less tiring, while also allowing manual gear changes for greater control, similar to a manual experience.

The MT, on the other hand, is optimized with gear ratios that enhance gradeability, making it well-suited for long-distance hauls.


SAFETY & SUSTAINABILITY – For Today and the Future

The new models feature airbags, Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) seatbelts, disc brakes (4-wheeler), and advanced brake systems such as Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), and the Brake Override System (BOS) for maximum safety.

Hino has also integrated its Diesel Particulate Active Reduction (DPR) system, which efficiently reduces harmful emissions without requiring AdBlue. The auto regeneration and one-touch manual regenerations will ensure long-term engine health and environmental compliance under the Euro 5 standard.


Value-Added Service Programs – Peace of Mind, Guaranteed

Every purchase of the HINO 300 Series Euro 5 comes with optional added support for greater peace of mind, including the Hino Membership program with up to 7 years or 300,000 km warranty, towing assistance, exclusive discounts, and free service items.

Customers will also benefit from the Free Service Program, which covers five complimentary services for parts, lubricants, and labour, along with a free 3-year subscription to HINO-CONNECT for smarter fleet management.


Compliant with New Safety Regulations

The launch of the new HINO 300 Series Euro 5 also reflects Hino’s commitment to safer roads and responsible transport operations.

In response to the latest regulatory requirements from the Road Transport Department (JPJ), Hino has equipped its new models with Speed Limiter Device (SLD) capability, which aligns with the government’s efforts to reduce accidents and enhance fleet safety.

Both the 4-wheeler and 6-wheeler models are pre-fitted to support the government’s Speed Limiter Device (SLD) regulation, ensuring fleets remain compliant with safety requirements while promoting safer road operations.


Sales Program – Limited-Time Offers and Test Drive Opportunities

As part of the launch promotion, HMSM is launching limited-time pre-booking campaigns for its new 300 Series Euro 5 models.

Customers who pre-book the 4-wheeler between 1st August and 30th September will receive a complimentary Kangaroo Bar and Reverse Camera, while pre-bookings for the 6-wheeler will run from 1st October to 30th November.

In addition, a nationwide Euro 5 Open Day Roadshow will be held at selected HINO authorized dealers, offering customers the chance to test drive the new models and consult directly with HINO authorized dealers.
