ired of your old Kenworth truck? No reason to worry, as Kenworth has made available a series of glider kits for the T660, T800 and W900L models. The glider kits can be mated to customer-supplied EPA 2004 engines and matching transmissions.

Alan Fennimore, vocational marketing manager declared, “We’re offering the gliders as both rolling and non-rolling models (customer supplies driveline, axles, suspensions, wheels, tires and other ‘rolling’ equipment) and no FET tax is included from Kenworth. Depending upon the project’s final cost, and if the host parts came from a useable truck, the 12% Federal Excise Tax (FET) on new trucks may not be applicable, which can be a real money saver for customers.”

FET will apply when a glider kit is used to repair a wrecked truck vehicle, or change its intended service or where the restoration cost exceeds 75% of the value.

Mr. Fennimore added: “There are several other engine-related components – such as electrical harnesses, power steering pumps, batteries and air cleaners – that customers need to supply themselves, or purchase from Paccar Parts through their local Kenworth dealerships, but for the truck itself, it’s a very complete package.”

Concluding the report, Fennimore said that the interest for gliders has started to grow in the latest years, hence their decision, “Gliders are a great alternative for fleets and owner operators with the tools and service technicians to bring a solid and existing powertrain back to life in a ‘brand new truck’. We’ve talked with several fleets that plan to purchase gliders and have their service technicians work on the conversions during slow or off periods. It can be an effective use of shop hours.”

James Stanford road tests and reviews the Hino 300 light truck.

Sliding sideways in a truck is great fun in a controlled environment such as Mt Cotton's diesel-splashed skid-pan but I never want to experience it out on the road. Thankfully companies like Hino are working at reducing the likelihood of drivers losing control of trucks, starting with the new light duty 300 Seriesog concept truck

Keen to make a point, it hired rally ace Neal Bates to help guests experience driving the 300 Series on the very slippery surface with and without the ESC switched on. It certainly was a wild ride with the ESC turned off.Working Wheels was able to test the new machine at the Mt Cotton driver training facility in Queensland. The most dramatic drive experience of the day was the Electronic Stability Control demonstration on the wet skid pad. Hino is making a big safety push with the 300 Series and has included ESC as standard on each model. 

It was fun to slide around in a controlled environment, with not much of a load on the back, and having a spin didn't matter because there was lots of run-off and no cars coming the other way. Out on the road and a spin like that could have fatal consequences.

The ESC made a big impact as soon as it was switched on. The truck braked the individual wheels and dulled the accelerator to keep it in line. It was remarkable. And yes, Neal was able to set a faster time around the figure of eight course with the ESC on than when he was sliding around without it.

On normal road loops the ESC does come on a bit earlier than you might expect. I'm tipping some drivers might been annoyed by it because the system appears to come in quickly to try and prevent an incident.

DESIGN

The ESC is a highlight of the new range, but the new wide cab is what's likely to excite drivers more. Hino has actually developed this cab with relatively tall people in mind instead of shaping them solely for generally shorter Japanese customers. It's remarkably spacious in the cab.

Getting in and out is easier thanks to a wider aperture and wider opening doors and there is a great deal of legroom and headroom, which is a big plus for bigger people who would have no doubt suffered in the last model.

You can get comfortable with a steering wheel that can be adjusted in and out and up and down. The driver's seat can also slide back and forth 240mm to make sure you
find a good position. It is also suspended, which felt good on our test drive and would likely make life a lot easier for a driver working long hours on imperfect roads.

Visibility has been improved with new, thinner, A-pillars. The standard cab has only had minor revisions, it misses out on the suspension seat and many of the other cabin upgrades as it is a budget
conscious model. Crew cabs have also been upgraded.

These have a separate rear airconditioning unit for the back, which is handy, but the rear seat-back is so uncomfortable there will be fights over who gets to sit in the front.

TECHNOLOGY

Engineers have made small changes to the 4.0-litre four-cylinder turbo diesel and with up to 121kW and 464Nm, it seems up to the task. There is no automated manual transmission, but a full automatic instead. It's ok but is nowhere near as good as the dual-clutch automated shifter in Mitsubishi Fuso's Canter.

The manual took me a while to get used to, but that could just be driver error and the fact it's fresh out of the box.  The real test for these trucks will come when they enter the workforce, but the wide cab's vastly improved interior and upgraded safety levels certainly make a good first impression.
