Million-kilometre Hino truck starts new phase in its life
Farmer's Weekly
|May 16, 2025
With regular servicing and maintenance, this trouble-free Hino 15-258 500 Series truck is set to keep going strong for many more kilometres to come.
-
A 2007 Hino 15-258 500 Series heavy truck, which has already covered more than one million kilometres, has begun a new chapter in its working life after being sold out of the KwaZulu-Natal-based CPS Seedlings fleet to a Mr Singh to use for collecting and delivering stock for his grocery business in the Midlands area.
The truck has already paid a visit to its previous home, where the new owner expressed satisfaction with his purchase.
The truck has been trouble-free over the past 18 years, having been regularly serviced and maintained by Hino Pietermaritzburg in its early days, but subsequently the CPS Seedlings account moved to Hino Pinetown.
