Hino holds 6th Annual Hino Smart Driver Contest 2024

Hino Motors Sales (Thailand) Ltd. recently hosted the 6th Hino Smart Driver Contest 2024, a nationwide event that attracted truck drivers from across Thailand, competing to show off their top driving skills, safety awareness, and social responsibility. HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn’s Trophy will be awarded to the contest’s winner, marking a meaningful achievement for the top competitor.

The 6th Hino Smart Driver Contest was held from September 27-29, 2024, at the Makuhari Messe, with important guests such as Mr. Titipat Thaijongrak from the Department of Land Transport, Dr. Thongyoo Khongkhan from the Land Transport Federation of Thailand, and Ms. Yumiko Kawamura, President of Hino Motors Sales (Thailand), present at the opening ceremony. Ms. Kawamura mentioned that the contest serves to promote Thailand’s transport standards and provide opportunities for both male and female drivers to show and improve their skills.

The competition featured two main truck categories: the 4-wheel-loading truck and the 10-wheel semi-trailer loading truck. Drivers had to complete a series of challenging stations that mimic real-life driving scenarios, developed in collaboration with the Department of Land Transport to make sure that drivers could apply skills needed in daily driving. The competition assessed drivers on their driving techniques, fuel-saving skills, knowledge of vehicle maintenance, and compliance with traffic rules. Hino believes these exercises help participants build a stronger awareness of road safety and social responsibility, benefiting all road users.

The event is supported by various industry organizations, including the Department of Land Transport, the Land Transport Federation of Thailand, transport associations, and business partners. Through this contest, Hino wants to encourage continual growth and high standards within Thailand’s transport sector, especially on sustainable, safe practices and community cooperation. Hino hopes to continue contributing to Thailand’s transport industry by collaborating with all sectors to build a safer, more efficient transport environment, making the roads safer and providing happiness for the people of Thailand.
