Hino Trucks, a Toyota Group company, announced the introduction of Hino Edge, the truck maker’s third-generation connected vehicle platform.

It creates the digital connection between the fleet customer, dealer network, telematics service providers and Hino’s support center.

It replaces Hino Insight and is included on qualifying model year 2022 and newer Hino conventional trucks as standard equipment, the Novi, Mich.-based company said.



Hino partnered with T-Mobile, using its 5G network to deliver the communication speed, capability and reliability Hino said is needed.

The fully integrated connectivity ecosystem, Hino noted, delivers vehicle location tracking, a live fleet performance dashboard, vehicle health monitoring including real-time fault notifications with severity ratings, simplified service experience with case communication, and the flexibility to add-on a third-party advanced telematics service from one of Hino Trucks’ preferred partners.

Hino customers will receive five years of complimentary access to Edge’s fleet management web portal and mobile hub app named Hino Ultimate. — Transport Topics
