【From approximately 1.1 million yen】Daihatsu light truck "Hijet Truck" partially improved for enhanced safety

The Daihatsu "Hijet Truck" has been partially improved, transforming into a car with greater safety consideration. Let's take a look at the installed preventive safety features and the pricing that concerns us.

Facing the anxiety around intersections. Safety features have evolved

In the partially improved light commercial vehicle "Hijet Truck," the preventive safety feature "Smart Assist" has added a detection function for crossing bicycles. Additionally, detection functions for "oncoming vehicles in the opposite lane when turning right at intersections" and "pedestrians crossing from the opposite direction when turning left or right" have also been added.

Light trucks used for work frequently travel through residential areas, rural roads, and intersections with variable visibility, making the ability to respond at intersections crucial. Especially when carrying loads or in time-sensitive situations, even a slight delay in judgment can be fatal. This is why the evolution aimed at reducing oversights at intersections can be considered practical.

The "Extra Grade" also improves usability at night and in tight spaces

The higher model "Extra Grade" has additional safety measures. "LED headlights," "ADB (Adaptive Driving Beam)," and "side view lamps" are now standard equipment.

In night or early morning work, differences in visibility and sight can influence safety and ease of driving. The evolution of headlights, of course, along with the addition of side view lamps, will prove beneficial in situations where narrow roads and surrounding checks are necessary.

Including special vehicles, there will be a model lineup tailored to the field

In addition to the regular "Hijet Truck," the dump series, lift series, refrigerated and frozen series, and delivery series have also been announced as special vehicles. It seems that light trucks are expanding broadly to suit various jobs rather than being just vehicles with cargo beds.

Because the necessary shapes differ according to applications ranging from agriculture, forestry, and fishery to delivery, the evolution of base vehicles is expected to ripple out to future workplaces. You can choose the optimal model according to the type of work.
