2026 Hino 300 Series 716 Hybrid Tipper (White)

The 2026 Hino 300 Series 716 Hybrid Tipper combines a compact commercial footprint with a factory-fitted tipping body and hybrid assistance. Its 6500kg GVM places it in the light-truck class, while the optional 4495kg GVM configuration is specified for car-licence operation. With 33 km recorded, this new vehicle is presented in White and is configured as a practical tipper for applications requiring a ready-to-use body rather than a cab-chassis conversion.

The genuine factory tipper provides 3m3 of capacity and a stated 2.7-ton payload. Its 3.6m length and 2m width are suited to work where useful carrying volume needs to be balanced against manoeuvrability. The PRO body includes a tipper body-lock, rope rails and a two-way barn-door tailgate hinged from the top and both sides, giving flexibility when loading or unloading different materials.

Hybrid power is the defining feature of this 716. A 4.0-litre intercooled turbo-diesel engine works with a 47hp electric motor and a six-speed automated manual transmission. The electric motor is directly coupled to the driveline, while regenerative braking recovers energy during deceleration for use during acceleration. This system changes between electric and diesel power automatically, avoiding the need for external charging and retaining the operating flexibility of a conventional diesel truck.

The powertrain is quoted with 470Nm of torque available from a low 1200rpm, a characteristic that suits repeated starts, low-speed work and loaded operation. The hybrid system is also described as reducing fuel consumption by up to 22 per cent and maintenance costs by up to 16 per cent, while regenerative braking can help reduce brake wear. A 3500kg towing capacity adds further versatility for work requiring a trailer.

In the cab, a driver suspension seat and tilt-and-telescopic steering column provide useful adjustment for daily operation. Steering-wheel controls cover phone, cruise-control and audio functions. The 10.1-inch UHD multimedia touchscreen incorporates wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, digital radio, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and an integrated reverse camera, bringing everyday connectivity and rearward visibility into the working environment.

Safety equipment is comprehensive for a light truck, with Hino SmartSafe including a pre-collision system, autonomous emergency braking, pedestrian detection and lane-departure warning. Four-wheel disc brakes are supported by ABS, traction control and vehicle stability control, while hill-start assist is intended to make uphill departures easier. Dual SRS airbags, seatbelt pretensioners, LED headlights and ECE R-29 cab-strength certification complete the listed safety specification.
