Hino PH turns over 15 fire trucks to BFP

MANILA: Hino Motors Philippines (HMP) turned over a fleet of fire trucks to the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) last June 3 at the HMP headquarters in Calamba, Laguna.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • What powers the Hino fire trucks that were turned over to the BFP?

    The fire trucks are powered by a Hino J08E Euro 4 direct injection, electronic control common rail diesel engine that produces 240hp and 716Nm of torque.
  • On which chassis were the fire trucks built upon?

    The fire trucks are built on an FG8J chassis.
  • HMP Chairman Vicente Mills Jr. and President Mitsuharu Tabata turned over the fire trucks to BFP officers led by Chief Supt. Roel Jeremy Diaz. Heads of F. Cura Industries and Hanseo Precision Industry Co. Ltd., which collaborated with Hino for the provision of fire truck bodies and special equipment, were also in attendance.

    The 15 units delivered are the first batch of 61 fire engines ordered from Hino, which will be distributed to other LGUs across the country.

    The trucks are built on an FG8J chassis and are powered by a Hino J08E Euro 4 direct injection, electronic control common rail diesel engine that produces 240hp and 716Nm of torque.

    “Hino Motors is proud to have been instrumental to the modernization of our BFP fleet of fire trucks. Unlike the usual vehicle requirements for business or commercial use, a fire truck demands the highest level of reliability. When lives are at stake, there is no room for compromise. We simply must get the job done. It is Hino’s utmost honor being BFP’s chosen partner for this task,” Tabata stated.

    Hino's Total Support philosophy maximizing vehicle uptime while lowering costs is a key advantage for emergency vehicles. These vehicles are commonly deployed in the most challenging situations and must be operational at all times. Hino's holistic approach to customer service starts with the supply of a resilient chassis, continues with a precisely fused body application, and extends all the way to training, repair, and maintenance.

    Through RA 11589 or the BFP Modernization Act, the government seeks to improve the country's rescue and firefighting capabilities through workforce recruitment, special training, and equipment upgrades.

    Hino is committed to continue its role in offering high-quality commercial vehicles and after-sales services to Filipinos.
