Hino Motors Philippines (HMP) kicked off 2025 in style by celebrating 50 incredible years in the commercial vehicle industry! The big day—January 21—was packed with memorable moments that showcased just how far HMP has come in delivering reliable trucks, buses, and transport solutions to Filipinos.
The day started with an exclusive tour of HMP’s headquarters and assembly plant in Laguna. Media friends and industry partners got a behind-the-scenes look at how Hino vehicles come to life, from trucks and buses to the famous Hino rear bodies. The morning’s highlight? The rollout of Hino’s 80,000th production unit—a true testament to their technical and manufacturing expertise—and an exciting preview of the brand-new FG Bus Concept! Designed with Filipino commuters in mind, this concept bus promises comfort, reliability, and innovation.
Later that evening, the celebration moved to OKADA Manila, where Hino’s executives, employees, dealer partners, and guests gathered for a grand gala. Special guest Mr. Satoshi Ogiso, President & CEO of Hino Motors Ltd. (Japan), spoke about HMP’s significant contributions to public transport and goods delivery in the Philippines. “Every time a Hino PUV gets commuters to their destination or a truck delivers goods, it becomes a part of someone’s mission and dream,” he said, adding that change is key to staying ahead.
Another showstopper? The announcement of Ninong Ry, the beloved chef and social media personality, as HMP’s newest endorser! Representing the Hino 200 Series, Ninong Ry brings a fresh perspective to this reliable partner for SMEs. Whether you’re running a food truck or delivering goods, the Hino 200 Series has you covered.
