Many new products were unveiled at the annual Work Truck Show. This includes everything from bodies to chassis to components - all designed to transform your work vehicles into more productive tools. The following are some of the products new to the market this year.

Hino trucks

Hino offers a line of trucks with GVWRs from 14,050 to 33,000 lbs. in varying wheelbases. The company builds its own four- and six-cylinder engines, which combine high-pressure common rail fuel injection, variable geometry turbochargers and cooled EGR to produce fuel-efficient, EPA-compliant designs.

A joint venture with Toyota, Hino trucks are built in the United States and use proven U.S.-made driveline components on a 34-in. frame. For example, Hino worked with TRW to develop the steering package. Allison or Eaton transmissions, Dana drive shafts, Hendrickson suspensions, Meritor axles and Accuride wheels are all available.

The trucks use galvanized steel cabs with extra rigidity for ride comfort and noise reduction.

International PowerPack

International Truck and Engine Corp. addresses the needs of customers who require a reliable auxiliary power source when on the jobsite. The International Diamond Logic PowerPack 3 is built right into the truck. This 3,000-watt AC power system is a factory-installed option on medium-duty and severe-service vehicles.
