Drive With Confidence: 7 Safety Features That Set Hino Trucks Apart
1. Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
Slippery roads, sharp curves, or sudden swerves, these are just part of life on the road. Hino’s Electronic Stability Control system helps reduce the risk of loss of control or skidding by automatically applying brakes to individual wheels. It keeps your truck stable and your driver in control, even in the most unpredictable conditions.
2. Collision Mitigation System
No one plans for an accident, but Hino’s Collision Mitigation System helps prevent them. This optional radar-based system detects potential frontal collisions and alerts the driver in real time. If the driver doesn’t react quickly enough, the Collision Mitigation System can automatically apply the brakes to help decrease impact or avoid the crash completely. It gives you an extra layer of awareness on the road.
3. Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
Fatigue and distraction can catch even seasoned drivers off guard. Hino’s Lane Departure Warning system monitors the truck’s position and warns the driver if the vehicle starts to depart from its lane without signaling. It’s a simple, effective way to keep your truck where it belongs, safely in its lane.
4. Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
Long highway hauls just got safer. Adaptive Cruise Control automatically adjusts your truck’s speed to maintain a safe following distance from the vehicle ahead. It reduces the need for constant speed changes and helps minimize rear-end collisions in stop-and-go traffic.
5. High-Visibility Cab Design
Safety isn’t just about sensors and software. Hino’s cabs are designed with wide windshields, well-placed mirrors, and a comfortable seating position to improve all-around visibility. A clear view of the road reduces blind spots and gives drivers better awareness of their surroundings.
6. Air Disc Brakes and ABS
Braking performance is important, especially when you have a full load of cargo and cab full of people. Hino trucks are available with optional air disc brakes and standard anti-lock braking systems (ABS). These systems provide more stopping power and better control during sudden braking events.
7. Telematics for Real-Time Monitoring
Safety also means being proactive. Hino Insight Telematics allows fleet managers to see maintenance needs, monitor driver behavior and view vehicle performance, in real time. It’s a powerful tool that can help improve safety across your entire fleet and helping prevent small issues from turning into big ones.
