About Hino Trucks in North America
Hino Motors, Ltd. is a Japanese truck and bus manufacturer that is a majority-owned subsidiary of Toyota Motor Corporation. Hino has been selling trucks in North America since the mid-1980s with the F-Series cabover lineup. Today Hino trucks are manufactured at the company’s plant in Mineral Wells, West Virginia — the same facility that produces the L-Series conventionals and the XL-Series Class 8 trucks.

The Hino 268 remains one of the most recognized medium duty conventional trucks in the North American market, and the 268 and 338 are frequently found in beverage distribution, box truck, and vocational applications throughout the country.
