Hino Modern Jeepney Prototypes

• Hino presents modern jeepney prototypes in support of the PUV Modernization Program

Hino Motors Philippines (HMP), the exclusive distributor of Hino trucks and buses in the Philippines, showcased its modern jeepney prototypes at the Public Transport Modernization Expo organized by the Department of Transportation.

Hino’s modern jeepney prototypes come in four variants: Hino 4 & 6 Wheelers for Class II & III in AC & Non-AC versions. Designed like mini buses, the Euro 4-powered Hino jeepneys provide a seating capacity of 23 – 30 passengers. The Hino Class III model is an air-conditioned mini bus type with ample room for its front-facing passenger seats, secured with seatbelts for additional safety. The Hino Class II PUV is designed more closely to the conventional jeepney with side-facing passenger seats and covered open air windows. Its design is also provisioned for standing passengers to further maximize seating capacity.
