No, we're not talking about  that  Heino (left). We're talking about Hino  trucks. Photo credits Usien (left), posted in Wikimedia Commons. Right: Hino Trucks website. Ever heard of Hino? No, not Heino the German pop singer, who we have heard of. Ever heard of Hino Trucks? Neither had we, until we ran across the recent announcement of the new 2018 lineup of work trucks from Hino Trucks, a Toyota division. Hino Trucks unveiled its new line of trucks in a ‘big’ way at the 2018 Work Truck Show in Indianapolis, IN.  Carrying the name Hino XL Series, this all-new lineup rounds out Hino Trucks Class 7 product offering and launches them into the Class 8 market for the first time in the U.S. The Hino XL7 and XL8 models are powered by Hino’s legendary A09 turbo diesel 8.9-liter inline 6-cylinder engine boasting a B10 life of 1,000,000 miles.
