Hino Motors: “Proudly Canadian”

When you think of Hino Motors, does Canadian-made come to mind? Likely not. One of the best-kept secrets is the fact that Hino trucks are being manufactured right here on Canadian soil.

Since the recession in 2008, there have been huge losses in manufacturing industry, especially in Ontario.

A recent article notes that manufacturing sector accounted for almost 16% of the nation’s jobs in the early 2000s but that this number has dropped to about 12%. It’s no secret that Ontario has been hit hard, but since the recession, there has been a movement towards supporting local manufacturing and homegrown products.

The first shipment of Hino trucks came to Canada back in 1974, and in 2006, Hino Motors opened a manufacturing plant in Woodstock, Ontario. The 132,000 square foot Woodstock plant (to watch an aerial video of the assembly plant, click here) incorporates leading-edge technology while supporting local.

Hino Motors is known to produce some of the top quality trucks around. “Safety first, quality always” is the motto at the assembly plant in Woodstock, and it shows. With the help of a dedicated work force the assembly plant has the capacity to turn out 2,000 trucks a year.
