North American Commercial Vehicle (NACV) Show, ATLANTA, GA – Hino Trucks has been
asking you for a few weeks now the simple question: What size are you? Well, now it’s time to
answer that question. Hino has unified its entire lineup of trucks, including model names, to make it
even easier for you to match the perfect Hino to you and your business’ needs. Hino is excited to
announce their new ‘M Series’ Class 4/5 COE’s and new ‘L Series’ Class 6/7 Conventional trucks,
which combined with Hino’s recently launched ‘XL Series’ Class 7/8 vehicles, creates a cohesive
family of commercial trucks.
The badges are not the only updates either. Each vehicle now contains larger cab
configurations, and a full suite of features adding safety, fresh designs, durability, flexibility and
connectivity options, making it clear why Hino is the fastest growing medium-duty truck brand.
The new COE truck models carry Hino M4 and Hino M5 badging with the number in the naming
scheme representing the GVW class. For 2021MY, these trucks have been upgraded with an all-new
grille design complete with optional LED headlights and HD 6-speed Aisin automatic transmission
with gear holds feature. Available with the industry’s first OE fully integrated Lane Departure Warning
The system in this vehicle segment and then we get to the interior upgrades with a new shifter layout,
steering wheel controls, an all-new gauge cluster including a 4.2” LCD multi-information display and
driver’s seatbelt sensor.
The new Conventional line is represented by the Hino L6 and Hino L7 models boasting a bolder front
fascia with optional LED headlights. The cab interior has been re-engineered with an automotive-grade finish designed for commercial use and improved functionality, steering wheel controls, a large
7” LCD multi-information display, more storage, and legroom. Hino also takes your safety very
seriously, which is why there are now an array of safety systems available on the Hino L Series
including Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Collision Mitigation System (CMS), Lane Departure
Warning (LDW), Active Cruise Control (ACC) and driver’s seatbelt sensor. Adding even more
functionality to your business are new wheelbase options and extended and crew cab configurations.
“Having extended and crew cab choices will help us better serve our customers’ operational needs
and open up new markets for our trucks” explained Glenn Ellis, SVP Customer Experience. “It’s
impressive how accommodating and spacious both cabs are. Our engineering and design team
really did an outstanding job with our new full line-up!” The 30” extended cab will have seating for 5
and the 44” crew cab will have full-size doors and seat 6 passengers and provide the comfort of rear
zone A/C and heat.
The Hino XL Series also gets new advantages for the 2021 model year including the extended cab and
crew cab configurations and a snowplow package complete with an 18,000 lb. GVW front axle and
front frame extensions. The Hino XL7 and XL8 will now come standard with a driver’s seatbelt
sensor and available ACC building on the trucks’ ESC, CMS and LDW active safety solutions.
Hino Trucks dealers are now accepting orders for the new 2021 models. The extended and crew
cab variants will be added in the Spring and the XL snow plow package in the Summer timeframe.
