Canberra Hino open for business

Hino Australia has expanded its footprint yet again, with the recent launch of its latest new dealership, Canberra Hino.

“We are delighted that Eagers Automotive has further increased its involvement with Hino with the opening of Canberra Hino,” said Richard Emery, President and CEO of Hino Australia.

“As Dealer Principal of Canberra Hino, Mirko Milic brings almost 20 years of experience as a Dealer Principal, most recently at Canberra Toyota and Lexus,” said Mr Emery.

“Canberra is an important market for Hino – its residents, businesses and government departments are renowned for their commitment to the environment, so we expect our 300 Series Hybrid Electric light-duty truck to be extremely popular,” he concluded.

Mr Milic (pictured) said he was relishing the opportunity to grow’s Hino presence in the ACT.

“The new dealership is centrally located on the former site of Canberra Toyota in Fyshwick – Canberra Toyota is well-known in the local community for its commitment to customers and aftersales service,” he said.

“This ethos forms the foundation of our culture at Canberra Hino where our team combines excellent Hino sales, parts and service knowledge with a skilled and experienced management team.

“The new dealership features a 200-square-metre indoor showroom, an additional five service bays, a parts warehouse with an increased capacity of 4000 square metres, and a dedicated wash bay.

“Personally, I’ve enjoyed my return to the Hino family and the trucking industry – I loved my 10 years as General Manager of Tory Hino and have more recently been a shareholder in a competing truck brand,” he concluded.

The new dealership now brings Hino’s dealer network to a total of 65 sales and service centres across Australia.
