eLMeR ◊ 2015-09-07 01:01	It looks indeed a lot like a 2004+ Hino 600: Problem: it's apparently a generic name that is not used for now in the IMCDb, leaving unfortunately a lot of Hino trucks as unknown...

eLMeR ◊ 2015-09-07 03:04	Maybe from Hino's website itself Quote The HINO 600 Series is designed exclusively for the North American Market and marketed as HINO 268 in the US. [...] This fast search returned also the official date of launch: November 2007. Unless they were made in Japan or elsewhere before and then shipped to the North-American market? _____ Edit: The medium-duty models were apparently the only trucks to be made at the beginning, which may explain why the 268 is the only model cited in the press release of September 2010 linked and quoted above. But I have for now no source to confirm it, it's a pure guess -- Last edit: 2015-09-07 03:29:47
eLMeR ◊ 2015-09-11 23:13	So, what about the 600-Series idea?
