Hino showcased two of its popular products — the Commuter Bus and the SS2P Tractor Head — during the trade expo, which ran from July 14 to 16, 2017 at the SMX Convention Center. The Hino Commuter Bus, which has a light but sturdy body structure and a seating capacity of 22 people, is designed to offer safety, reliability and comfort in travel.
