Hino unveils anniversary badge
Hino is celebrating its heritage in this country with a special 50th Anniversary badgeHino is chalking up its 50th year of operations in Australia in 2015, and to mark the milestone all new 300, 500 and 700 Series trucks sold during the celebratory period will come with special commemorative badging.
Hino says the 50th Anniversary badge combines stylistic elements from the company's past, present and future, with cues from a variety of badges adopted by the company's trucks and buses through the decades.
Hino Australia Chairman and CEO, Steve Lotter, said the company had utilised a variety of badges over the years.
"Over the history of Hino in Australia, Hino trucks and badges have worn a Hino script, the 'wings', some exclusive Australia-only badges, followed by the current initial-H badge," he said.
The current initial-H badge has been used here since 1996 and, according to Hino Motors Limited, is said to be a "stylistic depiction of a sunrise on the horizon".
The 50th Anniversary commemorative badges will feature on all 300, 500 and 700 Series models sold until the end of the year.
