Hino displays wide-ranging portfolio at Brisbane Truck Show

With a theme of ‘driven by innovation, powered by sustainability’, the Hino Australia stand at the 2025 Brisbane Truck Show showcased the Japanese manufacturer’s range of current Euro 6 solutions. The show lineup including the 700 Series and 300 Series hybrid electric trucks, which deliver fuel savings and emissions reductions with no range or recharge restrictions.

There was also a nod to the future with Hino displaying a Dutro (300 Series) Z-EV electric walk-through van, which is currently undergoing trial programs in Australia to determine its operational capacity.

“Earlier in the year, Hino surpassed 150,000 deliveries in Australia, an important milestone that provides a marker to underpin our commitment to Australia and to our ongoing success while also shifting our focus forward to our next business horizon,” said Richard Emery, President & CEO of Hino Australia.

“It has been achieved with fit-for-purpose products centred on quality, technology and safety, supported by our partnerships with our loyal customers and dealer partners.

“None of this will change as we transition to a full range of Euro 6 compliant vehicles.”

The stand also featured a 300 Series 916 hybrid electric wide cab with a Kyokuto single car carrier body, which acts as a recovery vehicle in the Repco Supercars Championship.

 “It uniquely allows the tray to slide off the back of the vehicle and can perform loading work at almost any angle down to zero degrees,” said Mr Emery.

“Hybrid electric is a compelling option for customers today based on the balance of cost, range and payload with the benefit of real-world, immediate savings on fuel and emissions.”

The Dutro (300 Series) Z-EV walk-through van has an ultra-low floor that features a 50kW electric motor mounted under the cab, which drives the front wheels.

The Z-EV will now undergo real-world trials to understand cost, range and payload to ensure it is a viable option for Australian customers.

Hino Australia’s heavy-duty range was represented by a 700 Series SH1845 4x2 prime mover that transports the Hino display trailer to the Repco Supercars Championship.

Another key model displayed in the 700 Series range was an FY3036 Tilt Tray with crane and ROPS, on loan from Hino customer CST Hire, one of Australia’s leading truck rental companies.
