Jakarta — Hino Motors has a strong commitment to strengthening the commercial vehicle industry in Indonesia. The company continues to increase investments, bolster local production, and develop environmentally friendly technology.
This was conveyed by Hino Motors during a meeting between the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Industry of the Republic of Indonesia, Faisol Riza, and Hino’s management team, namely Satyakam Arya, President & CEO as well as Member of the Board of Directors of Hino Motors Ltd (HML) Japan, Shingo Sakai – President Director of PT Hino Motors Sales Indonesia (HMSI), and Hiroshi Terawaki – President Director of PT Hino Motors Manufacturing Indonesia (HMMI), in Jakarta on 17 April 2026.
Hino conveyed its contributions to the national automotive industry through increased investments and strengthened domestic production capacity. To date, Hino’s investment in Indonesia has reached USD 112.5 million, supported by a production capacity of up to 75,000 units per year. In addition, Hino’s manufacturing activities employ around 1,547 workers, which plays an important role in sustaining the national commercial vehicle industry amid market dynamics.
In addition to strengthening domestic production, the company is targeting Indonesia as a global export hub for commercial vehicles. With support from production facilities and an increasingly strong local supply chain, Indonesia is seen to have great potential to become a production base for commercial vehicles for regional and international markets. This step is expected to enhance the competitiveness of the national automotive industry while providing greater contributions to Indonesia’s economy.
As an effort to support increased domestic value added, the company is also continuing to raise the local content of its products. Currently, Hino’s Domestic Component Level (TKDN) has reached 44.35% to 57.26% for various vehicle types.
Even for six vehicle types, namely Hino 300 Series 115 SD, 136 HD, 136 HDX, 136 MDL, 115 SDB, and 115 SDBL, it has reached 71.85%. This increase in local content serves as concrete evidence of strengthening the national component industry as well as Hino’s support for the domestic manufacturing ecosystem.
Not only focused on production, the company also contributes through human resource development programmes and social responsibility. This is carried out through vocational education programmes, support for laboratory facilities, and collaboration with various educational institutions to improve the quality of Indonesia’s automotive industry workforce.
The government is also encouraging closer collaboration between industry players and stakeholders to accelerate the optimisation of national production capacity. Through such synergy, Indonesia’s automotive industry is expected to continue growing, becoming more competitive, and providing greater contributions to the national economy.
“These strategic steps further strengthen our position as one of the key players in commercial vehicles in Indonesia. In addition to focusing on increasing local production, we also ensure comprehensive after-sales service support to maintain customer vehicle performance. Through a widespread service network, availability of spare parts, periodic maintenance services, and professional technical support, we strive to ensure that customer operations remain optimal and productive in various industrial sectors,” concluded Shingo Sakai, President Director of HMSI.
In Indonesia, Hino Motors has three business units: manufacturing via PT HMMI with a factory in Purwakarta, distribution company PT HMSI, and financing company PT Hino Finance Indonesia.
