The Hino 268 is a strong and versatile truck. It offers the same benefits as our 258 LP model, but with a higher frame height and a heavier 10,000 lb front axle. This makes the 268 ideal for applications requiring greater front axle capacity, such as refrigerated bodies, water bottle carriers or heavy freight. The 268 is also available as an air suspension and air brake model. Hino’s 7.6 litre, 220 hp 6-cylinder, turbocharged, diesel engine provides excellent fuel economy, power, throttle response and legendary Hino reliability.
The standard transmission is a 6-speed Eaton 5406A. A 5-speed Allison 2200 RDS automatic transmission with PTO capability is optional. Available wheelbases: 205”, 217”, 235”, and 253”.Hydraulic disc brakes with ABS are standard equipment. This truck includes a number of cost saving features, including:
- Self-adjusting Clutch (manual transmission models)
- Long Life Engine Coolant
- Oil-lubricated Front Wheel Bearings
- 3-Piece Front Bumper

Using ultra-low sulfur fuel, Hino’s new Diesel Particulate Reduction (DPR) system collects and periodically re-burns the soot that derives from diesel fuel combustion. This leading edge technology reduces soot exhaust by an amazing 90%! The Hino DPR technology has been proven effective and reliable in Japan, where is has been used for more than 3 1/2 years on over 120,000 trucks and buses. |
