Predecessors
Super Dolphin (1981–1992)
Introduced in 1981, the Super Dolphin was Hino's entry into the heavy duty truck market in Japan, and
exported internationally. The Super Dolphin had undergone 7 facelifts throughout the 80s, until the final
generation in 1990.
Super Dolphin Profia (1992–2003)
Introduced in May 1992 as a model change of the Super Dolphin. It is equivalent to the second generation
of Super Dolphin. The styling has been redesigned to follow the cruising ranger style. The headlights,
door windows, and turn signal lamps mounted on the front and cab doors are the same as the cruising
ranger that appeared in advance.
Engine one-key operation is standard equipment. The V8 is equipped with F20C, F21C or F17D (330-
560ps), and the straight-six engine is equipped with P11C (230-360ps) and K13C (290-560ps) / K13D
(270 or 380ps).
The front grille with three holes lined up between the headlights like the late ZM model is a feature of the
early model. The wing marks are slightly smaller and are discreetly placed on the front grille. It also has a
new HINO logo. It was also equipped with power windows (including a sliding power window), unusual
for trucks at the time. The driver's window is an elevating type, and the passenger side is a sliding one.
The catch phrase is "Full model change of transportation culture" and "Toward the 21st century of
logistics". Actor Koji Yakusho was appointed as a commercial spokesman.
In August 1992, a semi-tractor was added. Like the Super Dolphin, the tractor was fitted with a large grill
called the "trailer grill" on the front lid.
Minor change in 1994. Added L series (GVW22t / 25t). Compliant with 1994 emission regulations. The
wing mark has been omitted, and a new HINO emblem and its H mark have been installed, and the front
grill has also been changed. The notation of the door was changed from the car model name to the car
model name. Due to KC regulations, the V-type engine series has changed from 300PS (320PS, 350PS)

common in passenger cars. In addition, the arrangement of
the tail lamps has changed, and the triple type has become
orange, red, and red from the outside (previously it was red,
orange, and red). Vehicles equipped with double-type tail
lamps, such as semi-tractors, have the same layout as before

equipped with a high mount cab, and the design is based on
