Fuel giveaway from Hino

Hino has begun a campaign which they say could result in up to $250,000 of fuel being given to owners in the next five weeks. The company says cost of operation has become the single most important operational consideration of people who drive trucks for a living or who use trucks as a tool of trade.

“People are very concerned about the cost of fuel,” Hino Australia chief operating officer Steve Lotter said. “Concern is across the board, amongst owner operators, people who use trucks in their businesses, and also within fleets.”

Hino expect to give away $1000 of diesel on selected models it sells through its national dealer network up to September 30.

The promotion applies to its Built to Go light duty Hino 616 Trade Ace and 716 Steel Ace models, and to its medium duty FD 1024 cab chassis models in medium, long and extra long wheel base versions.

“For many operators the $1000 will buy between one and two months of fuel for daily operation – and in some cases even more,” Lotter said.
