Hino 700: coming to a depot near you!

May 23, 2023

The Hino 700 Line-off Ceremony is happening next week, and we will be there. We saw the truck in the metal at last week’s Brisbane Truck Show and we reckon operators are going to be extremely impressed.

The 2023 model takes big steps forward in terms of its technology, with huge benefits regarding active and passive safety systems as well as improved fuel economy, all of which contribute to a lower total cost of ownership.

The latest 700 Series is a major step up from its predecessors in terms of the extensive safety technologies offered as standard features. It also constitutes a completely redesigned cab that ensures greater comfort for the driver, while weight reduction improves the 700 Series’ operating efficiency.

The exterior of the Hino 700 Series has undergone its first major design change in 14 years, with aerodynamic and safety benefits.

There is a compact range of four basic models in 6×4 configuration: a tipper, a freight carrier, and two truck-tractors. The new range is powered by derivatives of the proven and reliable 13-litre Hino E13C six-cylinder turbocharged and intercooled diesel engine.

The 2841 models are fitted with one version of this engine, developing 302 kW (410 hp) between 1 500 and
1 800 r/min, together with a peak torque of 1 961 Nm between 1 400 and 1 800 r/min. The high-powered 2845 truck tractor utilises an engine model that produces 331 kW (450 hp) between 1 500 and 1 800 r/min, with a peak torque of 2 157 Nm between 1 050 and 1 400 r/min.

The big news, however, is the important enhancement of the safety aspects of the 700 Series. We will bring you more news on these upgrades in the next issue of FOCUS.
