DAPURPACUID – Various truck and bus products appeared on the Hino stand at the 2024 GIIAS event, one of which was the Hino Bus AK 240 with a new body application for large front-engine buses.
The bus fleet owned by PO Bagong is part of the purchase of 29 Hino Bus AK 240 units this year, featuring a space frame rear frame design with a wider cargo area.
This product offers various advantages that make it an ideal solution for inter-city, inter-provincial, inter-city within a province, and tourist bus transportation businesses.
Equipped with a larger luggage space that is transparent on both sides, it allows companies to load more goods in one trip, whether it is long-distance or tourist.
With these advantages, it is believed to be able to reduce the need for additional transportation, lower operational costs, and increase business efficiency.
Sales Director of PT Hino Motors Sales Indonesia, Susilo Darmawan said, the Hino Bus AK 240 with a space frame rear frame design can be an attractive choice for PO Bus.
“This is the optimal combination of performance and efficiency. The new body application design offers a larger luggage space to carry more passenger goods,” he added.
The Hino Bus AK 240 is equipped with a Euro 4 standard engine that produces 240 PS of power, supported by a 6-speed MX06 transmission with a GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) of up to 15 tons.
Thanks to this configuration, the Hino AK 240 Bus offers reliable performance, and is able to handle various road conditions with good fuel efficiency and low emissions.
There is a full air brake braking system that increases safety aspects when operating. This braking system uses pressurized air to produce responsive braking force, ensuring safer operation.
By using ISO-10 wheel bolts that comply with international standards, it provides comfort for drivers because the bus components are designed to meet qualified safety standards.
