"Hellooooo....what's this little fellow doing peeping around the corner?" Could it be something new and exclusive (and Japanese) in the next edition of Commercial Motor? If you want to see more then you'd better click through here hadn't you? Oohh yer big tease Biglorryblog!
Yes it's the all-new 150hp Hino 300 Series 7.5-tonner which was surprisingly unveiled at last year's NEC Show by Hino and Harris Assemblers..then it all went rather quiet. Well not being one to be put off by a small thing like availability, "Clutchslip" has tracked down the very first one to go into service and he's only gone and done an exclusive drive for Commercial Motor hasn't he!
So if you want to see what this new contender in the 7.5-tonne market is like, and whether you ought to get one you'd better read the next edition of CM which comes out on Thursday. And remember it's ONLY in CM!. And what was I saying about 2008 being the year the Japanese finally started to make real waves in Europe?
