Hino Trucks sees the announcement as expanding its range in a growing market. “As our industry introduces electric options, Hino Trucks can now offer an option for all the markets affected by the ACT mandate,” says Hino Trucks president Glenn Ellis.

The SEA-Drive powered Hino Trucks M5e and L6e models recently featured prominently at Work Truck Week, in Indianapolis, with the M5e made available for sampling in the “Ride and Drive” activity.
