On January 11th, the China Hino Automobile Supplier Conference was held online.
Mr. Heizeren, General Manager of Hino Automobile Investment (China) Co., Ltd., would like to express his gratitude to all suppliers for their strong assistance and support in safety, quality, cost reduction, and component supply activities to Hino Group in 2022. He particularly acknowledged that the suppliers were able to deliver on schedule despite external influences such as the COVID-19 pandemic in 2022. Afterwards, General Manager Kurosawa apologized for the "misconduct" of Hino's parent company and shared with suppliers the three values of "integrity", "contribution", and "empathy" in Hino Way's philosophy. On this basis, General Manager Heize explained to the suppliers the business policy of China Hino in 2023 and looked forward to continuing to work together with the suppliers to expand their business.
In the commendation process, a total of 30 suppliers were commended this time. In addition to the previous Quality Management Award and Cost Improvement Award, a special Production Cooperation Award has been set up to express gratitude to suppliers for their production and support in the field of new energy and electric vehicles during the epidemic.
