After a three-year project in conjunction with Australian automotive technology company SEA Electric, fleet service provider All Purpose Transport is set to deploy Queensland’s first 100% electric delivery truck for IKEA’s planned zero emissions truck fleet by 2025.
The popularity of Allison automatic transmissions in medium-duty trucks has led major truck maker, Hino, to declare that 65% of all new Hino 500 Series standard cab trucks are now ordered with Allison Automatics.
The 100% electric Hino 195 EVs by SEA Electric will be assembled by Fontaine Modifications and deployed in California.
Just one day after Hino Trucks held the grand opening of its new manufacturing facility in Mineral Wells, W.Va., it celebrated another milestone – the 20,000th truck delivery to Penske Truck Leasing (PTL).
Effective immediately, 2020 model-year Allison-transmission-equipped Hinos include a five-year unlimited mile transmission warranty.
The traditionally medium-duty truck maker has been busy, with the launch of a new series, tech partnerships, and a new North American president & CEO.
Hino announced that it plans to produce a new line of Class 7 and 8 trucks at a new truck assembly plant in West Virginia, starting in 2019.
Hino Motors Manufacturing facility in Williamstown, W. Va., celebrated 10 years of medium-duty truck production. This 245,000 square-foot location produces Hino’s Class 6 & 7 conventional body style trucks.
Hino Trucks honored a new master elite technician in its annual Service Skills Competition, now in its ninth year.
