With the same benefits as our 258LP model, the Hino 268 comes with a higher frame height and a heavier 10,000 lb front axle making the 268 ideal for applications such as refrigerated bodies, water bottle carriers or heavy freight. Hino's 7.6 L, 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 FS5406A and a 6-speed Allison 2200RDS automatic transmission with PTO capability is available. Hydraulic disc brakes with ABS are standard equipment. Rear air suspension is optional. 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
Using ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel, Hino's 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 here and in Japan.
