STG Global, a leading Australian manufacturer and supplier of specialised truck bodies, service vehicles and parts, has selected the Hino 700 Series as its preferred heavy-duty truck partner.

 

As a specialised truck manufacturing business, STG Global assembles truck bodies used across industries such as construction, mining, waste management, infrastructure, and utilities with a focus on practical design, durability, and reliability.

STG Global CEO James Agius said there is a natural affinity with Hino’s manufacturing philosophy of quality, durability and reliability.

“For STG Global, Hino offers a broad range of Euro 6 emissions compliant heavy-duty trucks in Australia for the applications we produce, including vacuum trucks, water carts and tilt trays.

 

“The Hino 700 Series range has been proven in the Australian market since 2021 and delivers STG and our customers with outstanding performance, safety and driver comfort.

 

“The variety of models available provides us with significant flexibility to meet our customers’ expectations,” continues Mr Agius.

 

“Most importantly, we have been impressed with the level of support from Hino Australia and its extensive dealership network.

 

“The decision to partner with Hino was also a logical choice given our parent company, Kyokuto Kaihatsu Kogyo, is one of Japan’s most respected specialised truck manufacturers and has a long-standing relationship with Hino at a global level,” he said.

 

President and CEO of Hino Australia Richard Emery is enthusiastic about the partnership:

 

“2026 will be a record year for our 700 Series, which has been driven by our expanded range of models and the introduction of our new Hino 12-speed automated manual transmission,”” said Mr Emery.

 

“The STG Global partnership is particularly important for Hino and we see significant opportunity to grow this partnership as demand increases for specialised truck solutions across construction, mining, waste, infrastructure and utilities,” said Mr Emery.

 

“STG Global customers receive peace of mind from our Hino Advantage suite of business solutions including 5 Years or 600,000 kilometre standard warranty,” he said.

 

“We look forward to our relationship with STG continuing to grow and expand,” he concluded.
