History of Hino Company
Hino Motor Ltd formation traces back to 1910 when the Tokyo Gas Industry company was formed.
In 1917 the company manufactured the “A-Type” truck as its first motor vehicle. In 1937 it merged with the Automobile Industry Co, Ltd and Kyodo Kokusan K.K. to form the Tokyo Automobile Co. Ltd.

In 2001 the Hino fell under the ownership of the Toyota Motor Corporation.
