JAKARTA - March 8, 2020. PT Hino Motors Sales Indonesia (HMSI) expressed its appreciation to Otobus (PO) Kramat Djati, PO Sinar Jaya and PO Harapan Jaya companies at the Gaikindo Indonesia International Commercial Vehicle Expo (GIICOMVEC) arena which was held at Senayan JCC on March 8, 2020. Appreciation is given for the achievements of a total of 42 units of the three POs that use the Hino Bus RN 285 to reach 1 million kilometers without overhaul. As a loyal customer of Hino buses, the Otobus Company uses many Hino buses as its fleet. The Hino RN285 bus that managed to reach 1 million KM is a bus with a common rail engine that serves passenger routes on the Transjawa line from Jakarta to cities in Central Java, East Java and even as far as Bali. Not only in Java, Hino buses are also widely used as intercity transportation in Sumatra and other cities.

Santiko Wardoyo, Director of Sales and Promotion of HMSI said, "Without this overhaul, it certainly makes entrepreneurs more economical, and profitable business. Because vehicle operations become more leverage. Without overhaul, the bus fleet does not have to enter the old shop for a long time, about 5-7 days. So the bus can continue to earn money ".

"In terms of costs, overhauls also need large funds. Because once the overhaul machine costs around 70 million. This is the value of the benefits that Hino Bus offers, the business fleet continues to run and avoid high maintenance costs. So that profits can be achieved to the maximum ". Santiko added

In line with Santiko, Irwan Supriyono, HMSI After Sales Senior Executive Officer revealed, "For Hino RN 285 buses that use a common rail engine to reach 1 million kilometers without overhaul is easy. As long as routine vehicle maintenance and use of spare parts is maintained, especially using original Hino parts, with undoubted quality of machinery, long service life and mileage are easily achieved, and business runs smoothly.

Trusted and Resilient Hino Bus Fleet on the Trans Java Line.

Hino guarantees high quality for both engine and chassis buses because Hino buses are designed with quality and safety according to high quality standards. From the results of road tests conducted by Hino for the Hino Bus type RN 285, where Hino conducted a road test for the Hino Bus RN 285 from Pulo Gebang terminal, Jakarta to Purbaya terminal, Surabaya round trip (PP). It can be seen from the results of the road test, Hino Bus RN 285 with 12 Liter oil capacity is very reliable to be used in the Transjawa toll road because oil temperature remains stable and not hot. Even the oil temperature during the test continues below the standard flash point value of the oil temperature. These results provide trust and comfort for otobus or PO entrepreneurs, because this bus is very precise and reliable to be used as long-distance transportation such as the Trans Java toll route which makes business more efficient due to less maintenance or use of oil coupled with Hino bus parts economical and affordable and routine maintenance makes Hino buses more economical and efficient as business partners.

Surely this gives more value to bus operators to maximize profits and minimize operational costs which is the principle of Hino Total Support to loyal customers.

"Our bus is indeed known for being tough and a champion in seeking money, for that the customer continues to be loyal to the Hino bus and this can be proven by the Hino Bus in 2019 continuing to be the market leader in Indonesia with a market share reaching 65%", closed Santiko.
