Hino PH delivers major fleet of 300 Series trucks in Laguna

MANILA: Hino Motors Philippines (HMP) has turned over a fleet of 300 Series light-duty trucks to a large logistics business in Sta. Rosa, Laguna. The aforementioned, the company says, is a move that enhances the overall strength of the country’s logistics backbone. 

It was not disclosed which company received the fleet, but HMP later shared that the 300 Series is well-suited to the rigors of the Philippine E-Commerce landscape. 

Specifically, the model is said to have enough robustness to handle mega sales events, same-day delivery commitments, and stringent service-level targets spread around hundreds of delivery routes every single day. 

HMP also said that this particular fleet of 300 Series is covered by a Service Level Agreement (SLA), which ensures timely maintenance and helps reduce downtime. All of HMP’s SLAs are supported by its nationwide dealer network, which is said to be capable of providing a reliable supply of spare parts, highly trained service experts, and preventive maintenance schedules. These are crucial to maintaining large logistics fleets with demanding job assignments.

Turned over units

For its recent fleet turnover, HMP provided the Laguna-based logistics company with two 300 Series versions: the 616 Aluminum Van and the 414i Aluminum Van. 

The Hino 300 Series 616 Aluminum Van is a light-duty six-wheeler powered by a high-output turbodiesel engine that is capable of producing up to 153 horsepower (hp) and 430 Newton-meters (Nm) of torque. It has a gross vehicle weight of 4.49 tons and a payload capacity of 1.5 tons - ideal for bulk cargo movement. 

Meanwhile, the Hino 300 Series 414i Aluminum Van is a model that was designed for high-frequency distribution. It is smaller than the 616 model, but its engine is still notably peppy with a maximum output of 134 hp. 

While more compact, the 414i Aluminum Van can handle dense in-city routes, busy loading areas, and many other scenarios. 

Other models

In addition to the two models mentioned above, HMP offers a wide array of nameplates that can support businesses of various types and operational footprints. 

For entities that need last-mile delivery capabilities, the company offers the Hino 200 Series, which comes with a variety of gross vehicle weights ranging from 4,490 kilograms (kg) to 8,500 kg. Small four-wheeler examples such as the 414i, 414i Long, 514, and 514 Auto are suitable for urban areas thanks to their balance of power and maneuverability. 

HMP’s lineup of heavy operations units, meanwhile, includes its six-wheeler 300 Series nameplates such as the 716, 814i, and 916. These can have a gross vehicle weight of up to 8,500 kg, making them suitable for industrial operations and long-range bulk deliveries beyond city borders.
