About Hino
Hino builds trucks and buses and is majority owned by Toyota. It admitted in 2022 to falsifying engine emissions and fuel economy data over two decades, which led to the suspension of several of its models in Japan. Toyota holds the majority, and the scandal led to Hino agreeing to merge with a Daimler subsidiary, restructuring Japanese truck manufacturing considerably.
