Dari tabel diatas kita bisa lihat betapa mendominasinya Hino pada ajang kejuaraan otomotif yang paling bergengsi dan paling mengerikan di dunia. Tidak heran bukan, mengapa populasi Hino Rangers sangat mendominasi di Indonesia? (No. 2 di dunia setelah Jepang) bahkan sampai menguasai lebih dari 60% market share truck di Indonesia. Ini karena ketangguhan dan kehandalan mesin Hino itu sendiri. Masih ragu sama Hino...?
