                   Comments from President Chaiyant Nimnualphong of Hino Motors Manufacturing (Thailand) 

                   “We put importance on not only driving the economy but also our social responsibility. We aim to develop carbon-neutral factories, by supporting the development of products with green technologies, using renewable energy with solar cells, constructing energy-saving buildings, and utilizing environment-conscious cutting-edge technologies. Within the premises of this center, we planted many local trees in an area of over 10 hectares as “Hino Eco Forest Park,” which is modeled after a natural ecosystem. We hope that this center will be utilized by educational institutions and local communities as a center for learning ecosystems.

                   In addition, what matters most is our employees. This center provides an environment where they can work in a satisfactory, safe, and enjoyable manner. In the future, we plan to establish a training center for employees of Hino Motors in ASEAN countries. All employees are proud of being members of the hub for offering trucks and buses to customers”
