Logistics, warehousing and supply chain operators can reduce fuel bills and CO2 emissions by adding Hino 300 Series Hybrid Electric light duty trucks in their fleets.
“Many operators are looking to reduce their emissions, and battery electric vehicles simply don’t yet have the capability to meet the unique commercial demands of the industry,” said Daniel Petrovski, Department Manager of Product Strategy for Hino Australia.
“The Hino Hybrid Electric is a proven solution that reduces emissions and can be introduced into a customer’s fleet immediately.
“For operators in logistics, warehousing and supply chain industries, the Hybrid Electric is suitable for any industry and can be tailored to a customer’s specific body requirements whether that’s a curtainsider or refrigerated body.
“Generally, curtainsiders operate in extra-urban environments where they occasionally (or in some operations, frequently) encounter stop-start traffic.
“Earlier in the year, we undertook a full day fuel efficiency test around the iconic Mt Panorama circuit and surrounding streets of Bathurst, which replicate the conditions that some supply chain operators work in.
“Almost 300 kilometres of testing confirmed fuel savings of up to 24 per cent in Wide Cab variants and 22 per cent in Standard Cab.
“The savings can be even greater for operators who use smaller ‘last mile’ refrigerated trucks in constant stop-start traffic.
“The refrigerated body can be powered via a traditional separate engine, or off the diesel engine drive – additionally, an emerging trend is the adoption of electric drive refrigeration cooling units which eliminate the need to consume any diesel to cool the refrigerated body,” said Mr Petrovski.
“For over 18 years, Australia’s only Hybrid Electric truck has reliably delivered savings to Hino customers,” he continued.
The Hino Hybrid Electric is refuelled via a standard diesel pump meaning there are no refuelling issues, range restrictions and/or charging requirements.
Like all Hino 300 Series 4×2 models, the Hybrid Electric models feature Hino SmartSafe, a comprehensive safety package with advanced driver-assist technology that takes an active focus in protecting the life of drivers, passengers and other road users.
Hino SmartSafe includes a Pre-Collision System with Autonomous Emergency Braking, Pedestrian Detection and Lane Departure Warning System, plus Vehicle Stability Control, reverse camera, dual SRS airbags, four-wheel disc brakes, UN ECE R-29 cab strength certified and easy start.
The Hino 300 Series Hybrid Electric range is available from Hino dealerships Australia-wide and includes the 616 Standard and 616 Wide Cab 4.5 tonne GVM car-licenced models through to the 716 Wide Cab with a 6.5 tonne GVM and the 916 Wide Cab, which has a maximum GVM of 8 tonnes.
Built to suit any industry, the versatile Hino Hybrid Electric offers a range of Built to Go models including Alloy Tray and TradeAce variants, and can be customised to meet the unique needs of any business.
