Adelaide dealerships wins top Hino award 

Regency Park business CMI Adelaide has once again been crowned the Hino Metropolitan Dealer of the Year by international truck manufacturer Hino Australia. 

“After a tumultuous few years which saw last year’s event hosted virtually, it was important for our dealers to gather together and celebrate all of the achievements in 2022,” said Sam Suda, president and CEO of Hino Australia.

“It is the second consecutive Dealer of the Year title for CMI Hino Adelaide, which is an amazing achievement,” he said.

Nathan Chatfield, general manager of CMI Hino Adelaide, paid tribute to his team when accepting the award for the fourth time.

“We are a very proud, long term Hino dealer – Hino is in our blood and our DNA. 

“The CMI Hino Adelaide team is such a wonderful group of people who work incredibly hard at everything they do, and this award is a very fitting tribute to their efforts.” 

CMI Hino Adelaide also won the Service Excellence Award and was a recipient of the prestigious President’s Award. 

“The 2022 recipients of the President’s Award demonstrated excellence in all aspects of Parts, Sales and Service and I congratulate each dealership team for their efforts during 2022,” Suda said.

“My sincere thanks to all of the dealers in the Hino network for their efforts to deliver an exceptional experience to all Hino customers during 2022.

“Tonight was all about showing our gratitude to our dealer network, and the night was as prestigious as they come. 

“Congratulations to those whose excellence has been recognised,” he said. 

Against the backdrop of the Intercontinental Brisbane’s Lagoon Beach the 2022 Hino Dealer of the Year awards were held on Saturday, February 24, in a ceremony hosted by Hino Ambassador Neil Crompton and attended by 260 guests. 

On display at the awards was a replica of the Hino-sponsored #20 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, which will be raced by Team 18’s Scott Pye at the Thrifty Newcastle 500 on March 10-12 as part of Hino Australia’s long-standing partnership with Supercars Team 18.
