10-4 Magazine / June 2025 65 Hino Trucks USA on “Project Z” – a new all electric truck – which is paving Hino’s way to zero emissions. Last year, it was announced by the Toyota Motor Corporation and Daimler Truck that an agreement had been reached on merging Hino Motors and Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corp., which is not too surprising, since Hino has always been a fan of partnerships, mergers, joint ventures and re-branding (they always do what needs to be done to move ahead and stay relevant).
