Sendayan, Negeri Sembilan, 4 June 2025 – Hino Malaysia marks a significant step forward in sustainable transport with the roll-out of its first locally assembled Euro 5 Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV) 4-wheeler units.

Assembled at the Sendayan plant, Hino Motors Manufacturing (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. (HMMMY), four units were officially handed over to Hino Motors Sales (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. (HMSM) during the roll-out ceremony today.

This marks the first Euro 5 compliant LCV 4-wheeler assembled in Malaysia, delivered ahead of the Department of Environment (DOE)’s latest emissions regulations, which require all new commercial vehicle models to meet Euro 4 or above standards.

As a Complete Knocked Down (CKD) model, the vehicle will have been thoroughly engineered to ensure full compliance with all regulations by the official market launch. 

ROLL-OUT CEREMONY 
“We are proud to produce the very first Euro 5 Hino model and to mark it as the first locally assembled Euro 5 LCV 4-wheeler in Malaysia. This is a major milestone and reflects our capability in delivering high-quality, regulation-compliant vehicles,” said Mr. Hiroshi Yamaguchi, Managing Director of HMMMY. 

The ceremony was joined by all HMMMY staff in celebration of this production milestone. 

Mr. Hiroshi Takahashi, Managing Director of HMSM, further added, “This is an exciting moment for Hino Malaysia. We are looking forward to introducing this new Euro 5 model to the Malaysian market and seeing how it meets the needs and expectations of our customers. It is not just about meeting regulations; it is about offering a product that supports cleaner transport and adds value to the businesses.” 

ABOUT THE NEW HINO EURO 5 LCV 
The new Euro 5 model introduces key upgrades over the current variant, including a Diesel Particulate active Reduction (DPR) System that captures and burns off exhaust soot to reduce emissions. The DPR system is designed to minimize emissions level without compromising engine performance, contributing to greater environmental sustainability. 

In line with Hino Malaysia’s commitment to safety, the new model also comes with enhanced safety features and improved user friendliness, including the addition of an airbag system and upgraded gear components. 

The Euro 5 LCV 4-wheeler and 6-wheeler range is set to officially launch in Q4 2025. 

This next phase in the product roadmap reflects Hino’s commitment to providing a complete range of cleaner, high-performance commercial vehicles for the Malaysian market.
