The unit delivered was built on a Jetbus 5 Big Jumbo body from Karoseri Adiputro Malang, which is known for its comfort. The Hino Bus GB 150 L is a medium bus with a capacity of 33–39 passengers, making it ideal for tourism operators who want to provide the best travel experience for their customers. Currently, one Hino Bus unit is already in operation serving tourist trips, one unit was delivered today in an official ceremony at GJAW, and another unit is completing the body manufacturing process at Adiputro.

Ferdinand, Director of PT Kerub Pariwisata, stated, “In the tourism business, vehicle comfort and reliability are key. The Hino GB 150 L provides us with the ideal combination of performance, facilities, and efficiency. Certainly, with this latest unit, it will become an additional backbone of our tourism fleet.”
