Batangas chooses Hino 200 trucks

A total of 186 units of the Hino 200 Series multi-purpose rescue vehicles were officially handed over by the Batangas Provincial Government to their respective LGUs, marking another milestone for Hino Motors Philippines (HMP) in its legacy of providing dependable transport solutions for Filipinos.

The ceremony held at the Batangas provincial capitol last Feb. 8 is a significant step towards upgrading the province’s emergency response capabilities. Batangas Gov. Hermilando Mandanas expressed gratitude to Hino Motors and its dealer Hino Batangas for their role in this significant initiative.

For his part, HMP chairman Vicente Mills, Jr. said: “We are truly proud to be chosen by the provincial government of Batangas for this requirement. We understand that when people’s lives and safety are at stake, one can never be complacent. Trust that we will deliver the Hino quality, performance and Total Support we have always been known for.”

Designed to serve during emergencies and calamities, the Hino 200 Series will also be utilized to augment LGUs’ community transport services. Powered by the reliable Toyota 1GD-FTV engine, the Hino 200 Series packs 144 PS of output with 300 Nm of torque. This light duty truck’s compact cab and frame makes it suitable for navigating narrow barangay roads while delivering its dependable pull and loading capabilities despite challenging circumstances. Each rescue truck comes with basic life support equipment including an oxygen tank, blood pressure apparatus, a collapsible bed and a two-way radio. These features ensure that the vehicles are well-equipped and always ready to handle a whole range of emergency situations effectively.
