Guangzhou, June 27th – Under the theme “Prosperous Era, Efficient Future,” the launch event for the new Shengshi Edition models by GAC Hino was officially held in Guangzhou. GAC Hino leaders, along with over a hundred new and existing customers, dealer partners, and media friends gathered both online and offline to witness the unveiling of the new Shengshi Edition models.
During the event, Zhou Junfeng, Minister of GAC Hino Technical Center, introduced the new models. As a joint venture brand, GAC Hino upholds Hino’s century-long car-making quality spirit, focusing on the high-end heavy truck market. The company continues to pursue the “Three Highs and Three Natures,” not only pioneering the “Million Kilometer Club” in the industry but also achieving an impressive record of over 3.32 million kilometers without major repairs.
To meet the high-quality demands of the domestic short- and medium-distance logistics transportation market, GAC Hino spent four years developing the “Shengshi Edition” model using domestic resources while adhering to Hino standards. The Shengshi Edition continues to use the EGIS high-strength anti-collision cab and the optimal power chain combination of the GAC Hino high-horsepower Z14 engine, Wanliyang/Fast gearbox, and Hande axle. This setup not only meets the user’s requirements for high horsepower and high efficiency but also enhances the vehicle’s low fuel consumption and lightweight advantages, aiding enterprises in achieving higher loads, faster transportation, and cost reduction.
In addition to maintaining the high-quality standards of GAC Hino products, the Shengshi Edition is offered at a very competitive price. The market price starts at 350,000 yuan, with seven purchase benefits worth 38,000 yuan announced on-site. Compared to the GAC Hino 700 Zhizhen high-horsepower models, the Shengshi Edition maintains the same high-end level in terms of power, comfort, and handling. However, through product development upgrades and the introduction of a localized supply chain, the terminal price is reduced by 120,000 yuan, allowing end consumers to enjoy international quality at domestic prices, making short- and medium-distance logistics transportation more profitable.
At the end of the launch event, GAC Hino Chief Marketing Officer Yang Lin highlighted that the Shengshi Edition is not only a masterpiece that embodies GAC Hino’s top manufacturing craftsmanship and quality control system over the years but also marks the beginning of a new era of strategic transformation for GAC Hino. He stated that 2024 is the inaugural year of GAC Hino’s proactive strategic transformation, focusing on three major transitions: from a traditional energy enterprise to a new energy enterprise, from a single heavy truck product to a multi-series commercial vehicle product matrix, and from a Sino-foreign joint venture system to a more dynamic and creative mixed-ownership enterprise system. Through these three dimensions of transformation, GAC Hino aims to grow comprehensively as a representative of new energy commercial vehicles.
During the event, GAC Hino successfully signed an agreement with Fangsheng Energy for 300 hydrogen fuel cell dump trucks, with the first batch of 50 units. This further demonstrates GAC Hino’s firm commitment and forward-looking layout in the new energy commercial vehicle field.
With steadfast determination, a prosperous future is anticipated. GAC Hino will firmly advance its new energy strategic transformation, leveraging the technical reserves of GAC Research Institute in new energy and intelligent technologies. GAC Hino is committed to becoming a provider of low-carbon, intelligent, technological, and ecological logistics solutions!
