      • Talking Hino 2018 with Bill Gillespie

        A chat with Hino GM of Brand and Franchise Development, Bill Gillespie.
        There’s a lot going on at Hino Australia in 2018 and we thought it would be a great time to take a closer look at the big-selling brand.
        The Japanese brand has enjoyed a hefty 20.3% lift in sales across the first eight months of the year and consistently takes the silver medal position in the monthly sales race.
        In recent times we’ve seen new offerings like the Poncho Bus come to market, the 300 Series 4x4 and the new-generation 500 Series Wide Cab.
        On the horizon for Hino is the new 500 Series Standard Cab and a few possible new additions to the range, including a return to the brand’s Aussie roots with a larger focus on Hino Buses and even, potentially, a bonneted Hino truck.
        Check out our chat with Bill Gillespie, Hino Australia GM of Brand and Franchise Development for details…

          • 2018 UD Trucks chat with Mark Strambi

            2018 is proving an interesting year for the UD Trucks brand in Australia.

            Sales of the recently released new-generation Quon are steaming ahead, the truck winning over heavy-duty Japanese truck purchasers in Australia on the back of its strong safety credentials primarily.

            While sales of the UD Trucks medium-duty offering, the Condor, have slowed.

            At the official opening of the new Volvo Group Australia headquarters in Brisbane (the new head office for UD Trucks) we caught up with Mark Strambi, UD Trucks Vice President of Sales.

            On the agenda - the popularity of the Quon and the chances of a new medium-duty UD Trucks offering coming our way...
