Loyalty to Hino

If you know…you know. Just as Volkswagen fans have continued to purchase Volkswagens even after the manufacturer got in hot water in 2015 when they admitted to installing top secret hardware to cheat exhaust emissions tests in US diesel cars, it is projected that die-hard Hino customers will no be phased by the current stink they are in.

“Hino has always done me right,” stated Joe Jerison, a medium-duty Hino truck owner in Waxahachie, Texas.  “I’m not just a loyal customer.  I’m a satisfied customer.  Until that changes, I’ll be sticking with Hino trucks because in my opinion, they’re the best.”
