Hino Motors, Ltd. (“Hino”) will provide the following vehicles as shuttle buses for the G8 Hokkaido Toyako Summit that will be held in July 2008: two different versions of a large-sized hybrid touring coach called the “Hino S’elega Hybrid” and a single hybrid bus equipped with Inductive Power Transfer1.
The G8 Hokkaido Toyako Summit has been dubbed the “Environment Summit” and environmental concerns are planned to be a major focus. Hino recognizes the importance of such an intention so has decided to provide shuttle buses for the summit. Hino will continue to work to actively prevent global warming and provide trucks and buses that are useful for our customers.
Outline of the new “Hino S’elega Hybrid”
The “Hino S’elega Hybrid” is a large-sized high-output hybrid touring coach that is designed to contribute to reducing CO2 emissions. The new model introduces an “A09C-1M” type power unit with a total piston displacement of 8.9 L. This is a combination of a new lightweight, high-output engine and Hino’s special hybrid system2. With this power unit, the new model has succeeded in reducing emission gases and improving fuel efficiency. This has enabled the Hino S’elega Hybrid to meet the 2005 (new long-term) emission regulations and earn it “NOx & PM 10% Reduction Low Emissions Heavy Vehicle” certification from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. With regard to PM emissions, the new model has succeeded in a 50% reduction beyond the values stipulated by regulations and has achieved the fuel efficiency standards for FY2015.
