Hino 300 series light-duty truck with safety features

Hino 300 Series is a light-duty truck with standard vehicle stability control and a suite of safety equipment.

According to the company, it is the first light-duty truck in Australia to include vehicle stability control (VSC) as standard equipment. VSC acts as an additional layer of safety by applying selective braking to individual wheels, assisting the driver in maintaining control of the vehicle.

It incorporates traction control, and is designed to help prevent the vehicle from skidding out of control should it deviate from the driver’s intended path through a corner.

It is recognised by experts across the world as being active safety technology that saves lives.

The VSC and traction control system can be switched off - to assist in control of the drive-wheel traction when the vehicle is in muddy conditions.

Other safety features include dual SRS airbags, four-wheel ventilated disc brakes, electronic brake force distribution (EBD), anti-lock braking (ABS) and front under-run protection (FUPS).
