Ahead of the launch of the new Hino 500 Series Wide Cab later this month, Hino has released a sneak peek of the interior which looks to be both comfortable and modern. The photo shows upgrades including a digital screen between the speedo and tacho depicting digital readouts for the fuel, AdBlue, temperature and tyre monitoring. "A firm favourite with current drivers, we have enhanced the already spacious and comfortable interior to further improve driver comfort and reduce fatigue,” said Daniel Petrovski, Manager Product Strategy for Hino Australia. "A truck’s cabin is essentially the driver’s office – with this in mind, we have made some simple yet important upgrades that improve accessibility and visibility and also increased the range of transmission options available." Currently, the Hino 500 Series models are available with manual, fully automatic or ProShift automated manual transmission (AMT) options.
We’ll bring you a full report from the launch which takes place from February 20.
