Story

Hino Motors Ltd. is a leading company in Japan engaged in the serial production of trucks. The company has existed since 1910 and during all this time it has managed to gain great trust, and as a result, popularity among consumers. This allowed the products of this brand to enter the world market, where now many models of the family create very strong competition with models of Chinese, Russian and some European-made models.

The main concept of the brand is the production of trucks that best meet consumer requirements. But the manufacturer also did not forget about the environment. All vehicles are equipped with economical diesel power plants, which have a minimal polluting impact on the environment.

The Hino 700 family of trucks in Japan is produced under the name Profia, but apart from the steering wheel location, it is no different from the 700 series vehicles.

The trucks were first introduced to consumers in 1981. The cars remained on the market until 1992, and later the second generation was introduced. Even then, they were able to prove themselves well and throughout the years did not reduce the level of quality and reliability. Due to this, new versions of Hino 700 are in quite high demand today, not only in the Japanese market, but also in many others.

The entire Hino 700 family has a universal frame on which a wide variety of superstructures can be installed, thereby expanding the scope of application of these trucks. The most popular versions have become those equipped with an insulated van, a refrigerator, towing equipment, a tank truck, a platform for transporting containers, a crane, a concrete mixer truck, a timber platform and much more. It all depends on the operational requirements.

In 2010, the manufacturer modernized its heavy trucks. Now new power plants have become available to them, which have improved environmental characteristics and more economical fuel consumption. Previously, six-cylinder diesel engines were offered for all models, the volume of which was 10.5 and 12.9 liters. Their power was 300 and 410 horsepower. For truck tractors, slightly modified versions were used, with maximum output power of 350 and 520 horsepower.

In 2011, the truck family was modernized again. To a large extent, the second modernization is associated with the new Japanese law, which defines new requirements for fuel consumption. As a result, the cars received even more economical engines. However, at the same time, their working volume was reduced to 8.8 liters, but the power indicators, on the contrary, became higher - from 350 to 360 horsepower. As for fuel consumption, on average new engines consume up to 24 liters per hundred kilometers.

Device

The following are installed as standard on the HINO 700 truck tractor:

  • pneumatic braking system;
  • ABS;
  • security systems;
  • ASR;
  • heated rear view mirrors;
  • front and rear fog lights;
  • power steering column;
  • electric window drive.

The steering wheel of the HINO 700 truck tractor is characterized by safety in emergency situations, because It sinks into the front panel in a head-on collision. It has a built-in airbag and a seat belt located next to the seat.

Chassis

The supporting structure is created using riveting and has reinforced parts. Variable area spars are characterized by a length of 0.31 m. When designing the suspension, difficult road conditions were taken into account. The rear axle can be equipped with air suspension, which will increase the softness of the ride. This will give an advantage when transporting fragile goods. The Hino Profia chassis is equipped with springs and shock absorbers that can function for a long time without the risk of failure.

The anti-roll bar improves the quality of maneuvering, and the front axle axles and beams provide a large steering angle, thereby reducing the turning radius.

Driver's cabin

The HINO 700 cabin is comfortable and functional. It tilts automatically due to 4 spring-loaded shock-absorbing units. The salon is equipped with three seats, the central one folds and is used as a table. Behind the chairs there is a sleeping place with small dimensions. The operator's seat is air suspended and is comfortable.

To ensure safety when driving, a large glass area is provided. The cabin of the HINO 700 tractor has a small width, but fully complies with ISO standards.

Cabin

Hino 700 is equipped with a fairly spacious cabin. It has an all-metal structure and two seats inside (for the driver and passenger).

The interior features pleasant-to-touch gray plastic elements and fabric upholstery for the driver and passenger seats. The driver's seat has a very ergonomic profile and also has an armrest and lumbar adjustment. In general, the driver’s workplace is quite comfortable, but if his height is more than 185 centimeters, then some inconveniences arise here, since the seat is not adjustable in the horizontal direction.

Externally, this truck came out very stylish and impressive. The cabin has a large radiator grille made of gray plastic and unusual triangular direction indicators. It is worth noting that the latter are also found on lighter families of Hino trucks (300 and 500). The headlights also have a small and neat shape, but this does not affect the lighting efficiency in any way.

Thanks to the large glass area of ​​the cabin, the model has very wide visibility. The number of blind spots has been reduced as much as possible by installing several massive rear-view mirrors. Excellent visibility from the workplace not only makes work safer, but also more comfortable.

If we take into account the tractor unit, the cabin is almost identical, with the exception of some details. For example, there is a sleeping place inside, located behind the backs of the seats. In addition, for operation in conditions of low negative temperatures, an autonomous heating system is provided here.

Steering and instrument panel

The instrument panel of the HINO 700 truck tractor is located at a low height and has a rounded shape. This provides convenience and does not obstruct the view. It displays only the main sensors and indicators, control and monitoring elements. For driver convenience, it is possible to adjust the position of the steering wheel. The Hino Profia's sound system and controls are located at the driver's fingertips.

The gearbox control lever is ergonomically located in the cabin, it is shifted towards the driver. The panel has a monitor that displays information about the engine temperature, the amount of diesel in the tank, mileage, and fuel consumption.

Ease of operation and maintenance

The main advantage of the fuel system is that it is not picky about fuel quality. The machine is easy to maintain, does not require constant monitoring, and its modular design reduces downtime. If necessary, repair work can be carried out independently, this will ensure efficiency and maximum reduction of time losses.

The HINO 700 does not require opening the hood to access the main service points. Checking the fluid level in the engine cooling system, clutch, and windshield washer tank is done from the cab. The instrument panel also has a built-in relay and fuse box.

There is a pre-filter in the engine compartment that prevents moisture from entering the combustion chamber. This ensures engine durability and reliability.

Reviews from owners and drivers

  • I have a Hino 700 dump truck with a load capacity of 15 tons and a 400-horsepower 13-liter diesel engine, which rips and rushes in a wide speed range. A very powerful and lifting dump truck with universal capabilities. During four years of operation, I have never regretted that I “got in touch” with a used Japanese truck. The machine is used to deliver agricultural products from the fields, so it has to deal with a variety of road surfaces - from gravel to M4. In addition, I am also dealing with flights from the south beyond the Urals. Regarding maintenance, it should be noted that the Hino 700 is relatively inexpensive compared to other foreign cars. Original filters are affordable and available everywhere. The chassis is impressively durable, except that once I had to replace the bushings and pins on the springs front and rear. The shock absorbers also need to be replaced, but this is all a minor thing. Electrical equipment, axles and engine are functioning properly. The powerful heater blows efficiently in all directions - depending on how you set it up. Perhaps the cabin is always warm due to the small volume, but I find it spacious. Fuel consumption is between 27-35 liters per 100 km. The current mileage is 400 thousand km - quite a lot already, but I don’t even hesitate about selling it. The level of comfort is normal only by budget standards, but the most important thing is that there is everything you need, including air conditioning and a radio.
  • An excellent tractor, which I have been using for the second year. There will be no serious problems with it if this machine is treated appropriately - timely service and content with only original components and consumables. The power of the 400-horsepower 12.9-liter diesel engine is sufficient with reserve, including when driving uphill. Fuel consumption is 30 liters per 100 km when empty, as well as 40 liters under a load of around 15 tons. The engine is surprisingly unpretentious to the quality of our diesel fuel. And yet, I am convinced that you should not save on fuel, so I only go to proven gas stations. The comfort in the cabin is specific, but by cargo standards it will do just fine. The chair is installed on an air cushion and is also heated. The small sleeping place was clearly designed primarily for short Japanese people. But it’s also quite suitable if you really need to take a break. In winter it is neither hot nor cold - there is no need to open the windows. Despite the cheap finishing materials, everything is flawlessly assembled and fitted - I did not notice any uneven gaps. In terms of decoration, the car is of course far from modern “Europeans”, but it suits me. I recommend this workhorse to everyone.
  • I work on a Hino 700 flatbed truck with an awning. I have a version with a trailer. Not a bad car for cargo transportation of 15 tons. The body was installed in Naberezhnye Chelny. At the same time, we attached a full-size spare tire - there was a place for it in the side part. In addition, the electrics and air were brought to the right place. In general, no details here - in Chelny, the car was thoroughly modified for us, everything was as we wanted, without punctures or flaws. I have a 9-meter body - in principle, a typical medium-duty truck. In winter it was cold in the cabin, so it was necessary to insulate it. Comfort, equipment and ergonomics are no different from European trucks of the 90s, so the Japanese decided to save money here. Fuel consumption with a 15-ton load is 35 liters per 100 km, and with 20 tons a 400-horsepower diesel engine consumes 45 liters. When empty, it yields 30 liters. I must admit, the car is far from being a track car - its gear ratios are too large for a 7-speed gearbox. Based on this, at speeds in the range of 1250-1400 (this range is considered the most economical) you can accelerate to no more than 70 km/h. If you reach 90 km/h, then in this case the speed will already be at 1750 rpm, and then the consumption will rise to 50 liters. The suspension does not shake - both under load and without. Withstands 20 tons without problems. The car holds the road well - it doesn’t pull to the side, you don’t have to steer, there are no problems with directional stability. Stability is acceptable on asphalt, snow or ice. On climbs, the 400-horsepower diesel engine pulls like a steam locomotive.
  • In our transport company, we have five Hino 700 dump trucks. All the vehicles are well-maintained, with decent mileage, but in good condition - clean and well-maintained. We use these dump trucks to cover asphalt routes and quarries. But to tell the truth, the Hino 700’s stiff suspension is more tuned to the asphalt. On rough terrain, the car shakes noticeably - even a seat with an air cushion cannot help. The technology itself does not shine with reliability, because most of the components and assemblies come from the 90s - nevertheless, they are well studied and time-tested. The cars were pleasing with trouble-free driving only for the first 30 thousand km. Then problems arose, among which I would note the low performance of the middle gearbox, which cannot withstand heavy loads - it literally falls apart. It is necessary to modify the main pair of the middle and rear gearbox. Jet thrusts are designed for 50 thousand km, no more. The same applies to the springs - on two of the five cars they broke four times, and the same number were changed (twice front and twice rear). Something tells me that this dump truck is more suitable for transporting paper waste, since sand and crushed stone seriously increase the load, and the machine has to “sweat.” I will also note the mediocre directional stability of all five cars. On the dirt road you have to constantly steer, and there is swaying when turning. When unloading, the vehicle even tries to turn around - one of the dump trucks even collapsed on the first day of operation. But there are no complaints about the engine at all - 400 horses are enough for long climbs. Consumption is around 35-40 liters. At the same time, there is a shortage of spare parts, which are also expensive. For example, one main pair costs 190 thousand rubles.
  • I have a used 2004 Hino 700 dump truck. The impressions are mostly positive, but it is impossible to do without problems. This is obvious given the colossal load and long distances - I cover kilometers through Novosibirsk, Krasnoyarsk, Chita, Ulan-Ude, etc. However, the reliability of the car is the envy of domestic cars, as well as some European analogues. Load capacity is 15-20 tons, and fuel consumption is 35-45 liters depending on load, speed and operating conditions. With a 400-horsepower diesel engine you can climb climbs without problems. The engine is not prone to overheating, the gearbox works smoothly and without jerking. Maneuvering the Hino 700 is a pleasure. But we must admit that the car is much better prepared for asphalt pavement than country roads. This is a plus in terms of stability, but also a minus in terms of cross-country ability. But I drive mostly on asphalt, and on gravel it shakes noticeably. Electrics, airbag sensors, ABS and other systems are not protected by anything and are susceptible to splashes, which is why they malfunction and fail. The salt simply eats it up - hmmm, apparently the Japanese don’t understand our harsh Russian winters. And yet, with the necessary modifications, the car remains strong and reliable.
