338 ? |

I like these. There's one that roams around here all the time. It was a former US Mail truck, with the faded remains of "US Mail" on the side of the box on the back. And yes, it's a 338. |

I've heard North-American-market Hinos are assembled in Canada. |

Apparently they have a US factory: http://www.hino.com/hino/story_752.php |

You're right. Thanks for the information! I didn't know that. Then I did some research and found out that they actually have two plants in the USA alone. The Canadian plant, however, exists indeed http://www.hinocanada.com/about_en.html but I was still wrong as its capacity is far too small to source the whole North American market. |

Good to know! So can we assume... ...for the US market, all class 4-7 are locally built ...for the Canadian market, all class 5-7 are locally built, and class 4 are sourced from the US? |
