Hino Launches New Website

ORANGEBURG, NY., May 14, 2001 --  Hino, which markets Class 4-7 cabovers,
has announced a new website (www.hino.com) which makes site navigation and
information gathering easy.

According to Ted. J. Fick, Hino's senior vice president, the new site
provides customers and prospects with the latest in Hino news, as well as
information on its product line and dealer network.  It also links to Hino's
parent company, Hino Motors LTD, a worldwide leader in the production of
trucks, buses, and engines.

"We're the fastest growing medium-duty truck company in the states, and a
lot of exciting things are happening at Hino," said Fick.  "We'll be keeping
our website fresh with news and information on our products.  In addition,
we provide full vehicle specs and data, including warranty information --
all of which helps in the purchase decision."

Other sections include customer testimonials and a feedback section,
allowing Hino customers to complete customer satisfaction surveys on-line.
"Our corporate culture is one of quality," explained Fick.  "We take
customer satisfaction very seriously -- feedback from our customers helps us
build better trucks and provide excellent service after the sale."

This effort has had its rewards.  Hino's line of trucks were recently ranked
by J.D. Power and Associates as Highest in Customer Satisfaction Among
Medium-Duty Cabovers, as determined in their 2000 Medium Duty Truck Customer
Satisfaction Study.*
