We arrange finance for businesses across every state and territory. Remote area and regional operations are welcome.

About the Hino 300

The Hino 300 Series page covers the Current Australian Hino 300 diesel and hybrid range, not a blended or invented “typical truck”. The first published configuration in the buyer table is 300 616/716/816/916 diesel, with 4,500–8,000 kg and 4.0L diesel · up to 150 hp · 440 Nm. The table below separates OEM facts from calculations that must be completed for the actual build.

Where the 300 Can Fit

Businesses in Retail, Food & Beverage, Courier, Trades may assess the Hino 300 for Urban parcel delivery, Refrigerated van runs, Food distribution, Trades and services. That is only a screening list. The commercial decision depends on the exact GVM or GCM, body, axle distribution, route access, driver licence, utilisation and the revenue earned per loaded kilometre.

Payload, Towing and Fuel: Use the Right Numbers

The 300 range spans multiple GVMs, wheelbases and cabs. Payload must be calculated for the completed body and selected rating, with front and rear axle loads checked.

Hino states the Hybrid can reduce fuel use and emissions by up to 22% under its stated test conditions; this is not a guaranteed fleet result. Diesel L/100 km is not published.

For towing or combination work, confirm the truck rating, coupling rating, trailer ATM, axle limits and applicable road rules. An OEM maximum is not automatically the legal or commercially sensible figure for every build.

Buyer Checks Specific to This Model

  • Car-licence and higher-GVM configurations produce very different payload outcomes.
  • The hybrid does not require plug-in charging, but its economics still depend on duty cycle.
  • Request a written variant specification before comparing dealer quotes.

Financing the Hino 300

Hino does not publish a national RRP for the configuration on this page. The $72,000 figure used in the calculator is an example finance amount only, not a vehicle valuation, dealer price or claim about what this truck costs. At the displayed example assumptions, the repayment is approximately $331 per week before fees or any balloon.

Replace that example with the written chassis, body, accessories and on-road quote. For a used truck, also provide the year, kilometres or hours, seller, service records and condition. Lenders can treat private sales, older assets and specialised bodies differently.

The most common finance structures for the 300 are:

  • Chattel Mortgage — The business owns the truck from settlement while the lender takes security. Eligible GST credits and deductions depend on business use and current tax rules.
  • Finance Lease — The financier owns the truck and the business pays rentals with an agreed residual. Tax and accounting treatment depends on the transaction.
  • Operating Lease — End-of-term options, included services and residual risk depend on the written lease. Compare total cost and return conditions.

Common Industries & Applications

  • Retail — Urban parcel delivery
  • Food & Beverage — Refrigerated van runs
  • Courier — Food distribution
  • Trades — Trades and services
  • Healthcare — Small fleet logistics

Build the Credit Case Around Productive Capacity

A useful submission explains what the truck will carry, who pays for the work, expected loaded kilometres, downtime allowance and how repayments perform under a weaker utilisation case. It should also reconcile the purchase quote to the finished asset and identify any body or equipment that has a narrower resale market.

Compare repayments with and without a balloon and test the balloon against a conservative future value. A lower scheduled repayment does not mean lower total cost, and an assumed resale value is not a substitute for repayment capacity.

Hino 300 Finance FAQs

Used Hino 300 trucks may be eligible, subject to lender limits for age at the end of the term, condition, kilometres, seller and valuation. Older or specialised trucks may require a condition report, deposit, valuation or shorter term.

An active ABN is generally required for business-purpose truck finance, but an ABN alone does not establish eligibility. Lenders may assess trading history, financial evidence, contracts, credit history, deposit, asset and seller.

It depends on the structure and transaction. A GST-registered business may be entitled to a GST credit for the creditable business-use portion of a purchase, subject to holding a valid tax invoice and current tax rules. Confirm treatment with an accountant.

Accessories such as tray bodies, refrigeration units and toolboxes may be included with the 300 chassis if the lender accepts the complete asset and supplier. Confirm invoices, ownership, installation timing and tax treatment before settlement.

Some eligible established businesses may be considered without a deposit. A deposit can be required because of trading history, credit profile, truck age, seller, asset type or requested amount. The exact requirement is lender-specific.

There is no universally best structure. A chattel mortgage can suit businesses wanting ownership from settlement, while lease structures may suit different cash-flow or replacement objectives. Compare the rate, fees, total amount payable, end-of-term obligations and eligible tax treatment with your broker and accountant.
