The Hino 700 Series is not new. It was launched in its current guise in 2019. However, the 700 Series has a rich and popular history. Hino’s entry into the heavy-duty market came in 1981 with the Super Dolphin Series in Japan. In 1992 it was redesigned and became the Super Dolphin Profia and then later simplified to the Profia, but for most export markets, it was simply known as the Hino 700. The current 700 Series was first seen in Japan in 2017 and then here two years later.
