![]() Like all other truck makers, Hino has had to develop a load-sharing front end and that needs to be VSC-calibrated differently from the Japanese (and European and north American) non-load-sharing design. Without load-sharing the two-front-axle limit is 10 tonnes. The reason behind this is simple: Australia demands load-sharing on twin-steer trucks if they want to take advantage of 11 tonnes combined front axle loading. The only hiccup in this release timing is that 8x4 models are still undergoing VSC engineering validation and the full SmartSafe suite won’t be fitted to 8x4s until mid-2022. EBS is also reactive to axle weight and has a target retardation figure in response to brake pedal pressure, so braking is consistent.Īlso helping brake response is Hino’s tapered-roller mechanical actuator design that’s lighter than S-cams and use less air volume. Hino has significantly upgraded the 700’s braking system to incorporate the new safety features.Įlectronic braking (EBS) supplements the fall-back pneumatic signal line to the brake modulator valves with an electronic link that’s much faster. ![]()
