Model history and purpose
Hino 300 is the brand's most popular product in the domestic market. Deliveries of the model to Russia began relatively recently, but this did not prevent it from finding its consumer. Initially, Hino brand products were intended exclusively for the Japanese domestic market, where they have long been the sales leaders in the truck segment. Used versions of the Hino 300 began to be brought to the Far East in the early 2000s, so the car has been known here for a long time. For the European part of the country this is a relatively new model, but Russians have already appreciated its high quality.
Hino 300 is an export version of the right-hand drive Hino Dutro truck. The debut generation of the car appeared on the domestic Japanese market in 1999. The progenitor of the model is the Toyota Dyna delivery truck, the production of which started back in 1956. It was on the basis of this car that the Hino Dutro and Hino 300 were built, initially intended exclusively for the markets of America, Asia and Australia. In Europe, the model was supplied only to Ireland, Britain and Malta.

Engine
Hino trucks are equipped with our own engines. And this manufacturer has a lot of experience in developing motors. Hino designers began producing diesel engines for heavy trucks in the 1940s. And since 1966, the company has merged with the Toyota brand.
The new version of the Hino 300 is equipped with a NO 4C engine. Trucks of the previous line (3614, 3814 and 3411) are equipped with the same unit. Only for the new series, the engine was modified in such a way as to comply with international environmental safety standards Euro-3 and Euro-4.
Hino trucks are equipped with our own engines
Compared to the previous model, engine power has increased: from 138 to 150 horsepower. Torque increased from 396 to 420 Nm. The increase in power was achieved thanks to an improved fuel system and updated compressor settings. The turbine is equipped with an electronically controlled device.
The fuel equipment for the updated model is produced by the Japanese company Denso. Electrical designs and fuel supply systems are licensed by Bosh. The turbine is manufactured by the well-known company Garret. The EGR system, which ensures exhaust gas recirculation, helped achieve a high level of environmental safety.
The 4-liter NO 4C diesel engine is also installed on the Toyota Dane truck. The piston stroke is 118 mm and the diameter is 104 mm. The camshaft is located in a cast iron block. Noteworthy is the fact that the cylinder liners are removed quite simply without special tools. A layer of polyamide applied to the piston skirt reduces friction, which improves piston performance when the engine is overheated.
The fan drive device allows you to save fuel when driving in cold weather and while warming up the engine. One of the disadvantages is the rather low location of the radiator. The fuel consumption of the 3615 model is 16.8 liters per 100 kilometers, and the 3815 model is 17.2 liters per 100 kilometers. These figures are indicated in the official booklet of the Hino 300 truck. Domestic GAZelles have approximately the same fuel consumption. Their carrying capacity alone is 1.5 tons, and Hino trucks can transport loads weighing up to 4.5 tons. This efficiency was achieved thanks to a motor equipped with an internal mixture formation system.
Fuel consumption
Fuel consumption of HINO 300 is about 16-19 liters of diesel fuel per 100 km. This is ensured by a reliable and economical power plant, where the mixture is formed inside the chamber.

Chassis
The HINO 300 chassis includes two axles. The company's developments do not include models of this series with all-wheel drive. Modifications are equipped with various types of chassis. There are five studs for fastening wheels in model 3615, six in model 3815. The machine weighs 8 tons and is equipped with a wide frame.
Hino 300 car wheels
Monolithic springs are installed on the equipment; the width of the six sheets in front is 7 cm, the thickness is 1 cm. The rear sheets are characterized by increased power. The leveling system of the HINO 300 truck prevents rollovers when maneuvering. Model 3615 is equipped with parallel side members, 3815 - flared at the front, with a variable cross-section. The hinges are equipped with grease nipples. The front steered wheels can turn at a large angle.

Transmission
For a six-ton machine, a transmission with five gears is provided. Aisin M550 changes the gear ratio from 4.98 to 0.74. For the eight-ton truck HINO 300, a gearbox with 6 gears is designed. The Isuzu MYY6S allows the gear ratio to vary between 5.98 and 0.76.
The clutch is installed as a single-plate clutch, operated hydraulically, and has a diaphragm diameter of 32.5 cm. The use of aluminum as the main material of the crankcase can significantly increase its service life and reduce wear. The transmission elements are a synchronizer and cables designed to change gears. The speed shift knob is installed closer to the driver, which provides convenience. If necessary, the lever can be folded compactly.
Brake system
Unlike a lot of equipment for transporting materials, this machine is equipped with disc brakes. Repairs do not require much time and effort, and high wear resistance increases the length of service intervals. The parking brake has an outdated system, which is the only drawback of the HINO 300.
The hydraulic drive of the brake system has two lines. The “handbrake” is represented by a drum unit; the handle in the cabin can be compactly folded, which guarantees ease of movement and the possibility of equipping a berth.

| Reviews of HINO | Official dealer of Hino There is one photo here, for example, even with a comment it couldn’t get more than 3 pluses at the moment. And if there are a lot of similar photos, then it will just be useless trash to look at once. After his statement that he also accepted Asian ten-tonners onto the site, overcoming his own hostility towards them, I put aside all the Asian stuff out of respect for the founder of the site. |
Hino 500 • The main difference was the appearance of a new Euro-4 engine in the line, which added 14 hp.
Device
Hino 300, depending on the version, is equipped with various transmissions. For modifications 3615, Aisin gearboxes are used, for versions 3815, Isuzu gearboxes are used. At the same time, the power plants used are the same, therefore the clutch on all versions is single-plate with a hydraulic drive and a diaphragm diameter of 325. Lighter cars are equipped with 5-speed synchronized Aisin M550 gearboxes, heavier ones are equipped with 6-speed Isuzu MYY6S gearboxes (Isuzu NPR has similar transmissions). Thanks to the aluminum crankcase, the durability of the parts and the best running of the bearings are ensured. A special feature of the gearbox is a high-efficiency synchronizer; gear shifting is performed using cables.
Hino 300 is available exclusively with two axles. The brand does not produce all-wheel drive modifications. The greatest differences in truck versions appear in the chassis. Version 3615 uses 5 studs to secure the wheels, version 3815 uses 6 studs. The 8-ton variation uses a wide frame. All modifications of the series are equipped with multi-leaf springs with thicker rear leaves. Thanks to anti-roll bars, good handling is achieved.
The truck is equipped with disc brakes, which distinguishes it from competitors made in Korea, Japan and China. These brakes stand out for their tenacity and informativeness. You don't need to put in a lot of effort to replace the pads. The disadvantages of the braking system include the outdated parking brake. When using it for an emergency stop, a strong vibration begins to be felt on the car, which causes discomfort.
The cabin of the latest generation Hino 300 has become noticeably longer. By increasing the slope of the windshield, aerodynamic performance was increased. Improvements have led to a reduction in fuel consumption. Changes also affected the radiator grille and headlights. The new rear wall made it possible to move the driver's seat back if necessary. The doorway has increased in height and width.
The gear shift lever has become more convenient. It was placed not in the middle of the cabin, but closer to the driver. Another innovation was the increased functionality of the lever, which became foldable. Due to this, you can now sleep in the cabin. This innovation made it easier to move around the cabin. Two drawers for documents and personal belongings appeared on the cabin ceiling. The dashboard has also been modernized. It has increased in size, and a display with sensors for fuel level, engine temperature, mileage and fuel consumption has been added to the standard arrow indicators. An airbag appeared, increasing the degree of driver protection.
Other design features of the model include:
- heated 2-piece mirrors;
- ABS;
- electric windows;
- EBD;
- front stabilizer bar;
- 3-point seat belts;
- steering column with shock absorption;
- safety steering wheel;
- a wide range of colors of materials used to decorate the interior and seats;
- ease of maintenance and durability of components;
- anti-corrosion coating that allows you to maintain a beautiful appearance for a long time;
- durable body.
It is no coincidence that the Hino 300 is one of the most popular light-duty trucks on the domestic market. The car has practically no shortcomings. Its main disadvantage remains the lack of an extensive network of dealers and service centers. This makes the machine quite expensive to repair and maintain. Spare parts for the Hino 300 in the European and central parts of Russia cannot always be purchased in a short time, and their cost is quite high. This is precisely what is stopping the mass distribution of the car on the Russian market.
Cabin Hino 300
The interior of the truck is presented in light colors and surprisingly there is a lot of space in the width. Single-row is represented by 3 seats, the driver's seat is separated from the 2-seater sofa. The two-row model gets a bench seat in the back that can accommodate 4 passengers. The driver's seat is adjustable in several directions, and the passenger seats fold down for cargo transportation.
The dashboard will please you with three storage drawers, plus there are many niches for small items. The 2-spoke steering column is adjustable in two planes. The instrument panel is pleasant to look at - two large dial gauges for the speedometer and tachometer. A wide rectangular monitor extends from the speedometer and displays engine temperature, fuel level, mileage and instantaneous consumption.
The console in the center at the top is equipped with a standard radio with a minimal set of functions. Below are the selectors for setting the stove and air conditioner - 3 washers and a lever for shutting off the interior ventilation of the Hino 300. Below there are many rectangular plugs for installing additional equipment.
Design
The design of the Hino 300 cannot be called interesting or attractive. The 300 series was originally created for the transportation of small and medium-sized cargo. At the same time, the manufacturer set out to create the most budget version. That's why you won't find any designer delights here. Any description only includes focusing on functional parameters and technical capabilities.
However, it cannot be said that the model cannot interest anyone. There are features that are worth paying attention to. But every detail is endowed with a functional purpose by the manufacturer.
Exterior
When you first meet the model, what immediately catches your eye is that the Hino 300 has a large, wide cabin. Large doors and steps provide convenient and easy access to the interior. But the fact that the rise is not too high may seem like a minus for some, because driving on Russian roads during bad weather can be difficult.
As for color solutions, everything is simple here - the variations are presented in white.
The latest models have better streamlining. Thanks to this, increased aerodynamics are achieved, which ensures not only a comfortable ride and less shock when driving, but also reduced fuel consumption. This became possible due to the fact that the edges of the body have become much smoother compared to previous versions.
The Hino 300 headlights deserve special attention. Fog lighting is an innovation characteristic of the latest models. Thus, visibility at night improves, which is sometimes key when choosing a car option for long trips.
Interior
The Hino 300 car is distinguished by its extreme simplicity and this also applies to the interior. The cabin has only the minimum necessary features. This is quite enough for normal comfortable work of the driver. At the same time, the cost can be reduced significantly.
For example, the fact that the seats are covered with gray fabric makes the model cheaper. But the driver will be able to purchase leather covers at any time, choosing them according to his taste.
There are 3 seats in the cabin. The driver's seat is equipped with a backrest tilt and height adjustment function. The steering wheel can also be adjusted in height. If necessary, it is additionally possible to install airbags for passengers, since initially only the driver's airbag is provided. The airbag is mounted in the steering column.
If necessary, the middle seat can easily be transformed into a comfortable table by simply folding it. There are also many pockets and shelves in the cabin, as well as bottle holders, ashtrays, a glove compartment, and a side compartment for papers on the door. The reason is that the model is used by freight forwarders, so the main emphasis when creating it is to make their work easier.
The front panel is black and lacks modern additions (on-board computer, touch panel). There is a standard monitor on which the engine temperature, the volume of diesel in the tank, and mileage are noted. In older models there is no monitor - there are only pointer sensors.
In the latest model, the cabin has become much longer, larger and more spacious, and the doors have also become larger. In addition, it is worth noting a pleasant innovation - the gear shift lever is now located not in the middle, but closer to the driver’s seat. In addition, if necessary, it can be completely folded. This will make it easier to move around the cabin and will make it much easier to equip a berth in the cabin.
Price
The truck is sold new with an initial price tag of 1,800,000 rubles for the 3.5-ton model and 2,400,000 rubles for the 7.5-ton version. On the secondary market, models are offered from 700,000 rubles, but “live” copies start from a million.
Basic equipment:
- set of tools;
- one airbag;
- cigarette lighter;
- anti-fog optics;
- full-size spare tire;
- stove;
- audio system with two speakers.
Air conditioning or on-board computer is available for an additional fee.
As a result, the Hino 300 is quite good; it completely fulfills its main task. It can be serviced on the Russian market without any problems, because even analogues of domestically produced spare parts are sold. In terms of price-quality ratio, this is one of the best offers, and there are not many analogues among competitors.
