Borneo Motors (Singapore) Pte Ltd, together with Hino Singapore announced the launch of the New Hino 300 Hybrid Light Duty Truck (LDT), the best selling hybrid truck in the world.
The new Hino 300 is the first hybrid commercial vehicle to be launched here, and is designed to enhance fuel economy and play a role in conserving the environment. Local tests with an equivalent diesel model proved that the new Hino 300 can provide fuel saving of up to 30 per cent, and gives nature a spare thought by producing lower carbon emissions in turn contributing to a cleaner environment.
The Hino 300 uses a specifically designed clutchless manual transmission. This maximizes fuel efficiency and provides a smooth and comfy gear shifts. The engine has been designed exclusively to work in conjunction with the hybrid system, a first for commercial hybrid vehicles. The intelligent powertrain features an idle start/stop function where the engine is cut off while stationary, and automatically restarts, when the brake pedal is released. The start/stop feature is particularly useful for cities like Singapore where we are often stuck behind red lights. This is a feature commonly found in road cars but a first for a commercial vehicle.
The spacious and ergonomic cabin provides the drivers of the new Hino 300 maximum comfort and convenience needed for optimal performance. Besides, with an ultra strong chassis that allows maximum loading, and no thoughts spared for safety with ABS braking, Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) and SRS Airbag, the new Hino 300 will be an excellent choice for drivers and eco-minded companies.
