Once a stalwart of the Irish haulage sector, the Hino HE series of trucks have become practically extinct, not because of their mechanicals or effectiveness, but because of that familiar Japanese bugbear; rust. However a small number have survived, and this month we call to Conor Jennings in Tullamore to check out his fabulous 1977 HE336; Conor’s father ran the well-known Midlands Truck Centre in previous years, and in recognition Conor has created this Hino as a replica of one from the old family fleet.
