Hino Trucks Ushers in Third Generation of Vehicle Connectivity

NOVI, Mich. (Oct. 26, 2021) — Hino Trucks is raising the bar once again in customer ownership experience with the introduction of Hino Edge, the company’s all-new, third generation connected vehicle solution. Hino Edge synergizes the digital connection between the fleet customer, dealer network, Telematics Service Providers (TSP’s) and Hino Ultimate Support Center, to provide customers a competitive edge. This powerful solution replaces Hino Insight and is included on qualifying 22MY and newer Hino conventional trucks as standard equipment.

Hino customers will receive five years of complimentary access to Edge’s fleet management web portal and mobile hub app named Hino Ultimate. The fully integrated connectivity ecosystem delivers vehicle location tracking, a live fleet performance dashboard, vehicle health monitoring including real time fault notifications with severity ratings, simplified service experience with case communication and the flexibility to add-on a third party advanced telematics service from one of Hino Trucks preferred partners.

Hino Trucks has partnered with top Telematics Service Providers to easily integrate business systems with Edge. Customers may elect to have vehicle data directly sent to the TSP of their choice — saving the cost of purchasing telematics equipment and increasing the wealth of vehicle information accessible by TSP’s, enabling higher value reporting. Current partners include GeoTab, MiX Telematics and Samsara with more TSP’s being added. 

Hino has partnered with T-Mobile to deliver the communication speed, capability, and reliability needed today. Now, Hino customers will benefit from T-Mobile’s unmatched combination of network quality and portfolio of resources that go beyond convenience into critical, real-time vehicle communication and business empowering solutions.
