Hino launches 300 Series Euro 5 light trucks in Malaysia, featuring improved torque, Hino-Connect telematics, DPR emissions tech, and SLD readiness.
“This Model Is Not Just A Truck”
Hino Motors Sales (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. (Hino Malaysia) officially launched the new Hino 300 Series Euro 5 Light Commercial Vehicles (LCVs) on October 1, 2025, at the Hino Total Support Customer Centre (HTSCC) in Sendayan. The event, attended by several Hino Motors higher-ups, marked the unveiling of two upgraded models, the 4-Wheeler and 6-Wheeler.
Designed to meet the evolving demands of Malaysia’s logistics and transport sectors, the new Hino 300 Series Euro 5 models combine enhanced engine performance, improved fuel efficiency, and advanced safety features.
“This model is not just a truck. It is our answer to changing customer needs. With better fuel efficiency, more comfort, and a safer driving experience, we want to help our customers grow their business with confidence,” said Hiroshi Takahashi, the Managing Director of Hino Motors Sales.
The new Hino 300 Series Euro 5 delivers new engine performance with 150PS and 420Nm torque, providing consistent flat torque for long hauls without high RPM strain. Built on a reinforced high-tensile steel chassis (540 N/mm²), it offers stronger load capacity, safety, and durability. An upgraded 80 Amp alternator also supports high-demand applications such as refrigerated bodies.
Aside from engine improvement, the truck can now be equipped with Hino-Connect telematics, which brings real-time fleet insights with tracking, driver behaviour analysis, fuel monitoring, SOS alerts, and service reminders. Refreshed interior with silver trims, power window controls, and a new 7″ touchscreen infotainment system with navigation and smartphone connectivity provide comfort and convenience for drivers.
Meanwhile, the safety system features airbags, Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) seatbelts, disc brakes (4-wheeler), and advanced brake systems such as Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), and the Brake Override System (BOS) to ensure optimal protection.
Hino has also integrated its Diesel Particulate Active Reduction (DPR) system, which efficiently reduces harmful emissions without requiring AdBlue. The auto regeneration and one-touch manual regenerations will ensure long-term engine health and environmental compliance under the Euro 5 standard.
The new Hino 300 Series Euro 5 is available in Automatic Transmission (AT) and Manual Transmission (MT). The AT is suitable for city driving thanks to its sequential gear shift system that also allows manual gear changes for greater control, while the MT’s optimised gear ratios make it well-suited for long-distance hauls.
In response to the latest regulatory requirements from the Road Transport Department (JPJ), Hino Malaysia has also equipped its new models with Speed Limiter Device (SLD) capability, which aligns with the government’s efforts to reduce accidents and enhance fleet safety.
