Hino Motors USA has appointed Davey Jung to the position of President, CEO and Chairman of the Board effective immediately. Jung succeeds outgoing President, Masamichi Mizukoshi who is retiring.

The prototype is based on the Hino ‘XL’ 4x2 configuration, but fitted with a powertrain assembled by Hexagon Purus, including its proprietary battery systems, auxiliary modules, power modules, and control software.

In 2024, Hino plans to offer an electric version of its M and L series medium-duty trucks, branded as the M5e and L6e Series by integrating SEA Electric’s SEA-Drive power system.

GATR EV in the Midwest United States has ordered 1,150 electrified trucks based on Hino glider chassis.

Hino USA will test and evaluate the Blue Horizon line of electric drivetrain components in its medium- and heavy-duty trucks.

January saw the start of pre-production assembly of Hino’s XL-Series Class7/8 trucks in the USA on a brand new production line installed in a new plant in Mineral Wells.
