Hino Trucks announced the appointment of George Daniels to the position of SVP - sales and customer support. Daniels succeeds Bob McDowell, who is no longer with the company.
Daniels, a 40 year veteran of the commercial truck industry, has most recently served as Hino Trucks’ VP - service operations. Daniels joined Hino Trucks in 2003 to head up the company’s Parts and Service Operations after spending 15 years at Mitsubishi Fuso Truck of America, three years at Iveco Trucks of North America, and 13 years at various dealer organizations.
“I am looking forward to working with our customers and dealers to build upon our strong brand reputation of durability, reliability and overall low cost of ownership,” Daniels expressed. “Our strong dealer network and focus on providing customers with highest level of customer support through our Ultimate Ownership Experience will continue to be the foundation for our growing presence in the market."
