In May 1950 the heavy-duty Hino TH10 truck was introduced, equipped with the all-new 7-liter DS10 diesel engine. An eight-tonner, this was considerably larger than existing Japanese trucks which had rarely been built for more than payload. The model became a common sight in Japan and in Southeast Asia, its main export market, before being retired in 1968 in favor of the more modern cab over trucks which succeeded it. ==History== The TH10 had a wheelbase and a DS10 diesel inline-six.〔 Around the time of introduction, the BH10 bus was introduced, with the same chassis and nose.〔Ozeki, p. 87〕 In 1954 the TH11 appeared, followed by the 125 PS TH12 in 1955.〔Ozeki, p. 116〕 This engine was called the DS12. In 1956 the TH13 arrived. In 1960 power went up to 155 PS for the TH16. the By June 1961 the trucks had become the TH17, with an eight-liter engine with (DS50). In June 1956 the TA10 appeared, a model with a shorter wheelbase for increased maneuverability and with a slightly lower, payload. It has the DS30 engine. This was upgraded to the TA12 in July 1958, followed by the TA13 in August 1960.〔Ozeki, p. 96〕 The TA14 appeared in July 1961; its specifications are similar to those of the contemporary TH16. In August 1959 the shorter and lighter TE10 was presented, with a payload and a wheelbase. In 1961 the TE11 was introduced, with a slightly more powerful DS70 engine. In September 1958 the cab over TC model was introduced; this shared a lot of parts with the TH range but had a payload.〔Ozeki, p. 102〕 In 1964 or 1965 the split flat windshield was changed to a still divided but curved unit without a pillar in the center. At the same time, the doors were changed to a taller, more square design with a ventilation window. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hino TH-series」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
