The President of Hino Motors Sales (Thailand) Limited stated that the main objectives of the contest were to open opportunities to both male and female truck drivers to join the contest, to produce qualified truck drivers, to set up, and leverage the transport standards in Thailand. Apart from having good-quality trucks, and cutting-edge devices and technologies for supporting the driving, the most important thing to be considered is the driving skill of a driver; this is the main underlying reason for Hino to initiate the Contest. Moreover, Hino has many activities to be implemented for developing the field of transport in Thailand for continual and sustainable growth.
This year, The Hino Smart Driver Contest 2024 has divided contestants for 2 truck categories: the 4-wheel-loading truck, and the 10-wheel-semi-trailer loading truck. The contest focused on the authentic use of drivers in a daily life; drivers had to pass the competitive stations, developed in compliance with the driving course by the Department of Land Transport. Hino believes that all contestants will be improved in terms of driving awareness and social responsibilities toward the society and other companions on the road.
