and Penske Truck Leasing.

Penske, Chairman of Penske Truck Leasing. “Hino continues to be a trusted supplier of high-quality
trucks within our truck leasing and truck rental fleets. We are pleased with the performance of these
vehicles and the outstanding support Hino provides.”
The 10,000th truck is a 2015 model 268A which is part of Hino’s award winning line-up of
conventional trucks that have garnered an industry reputation for providing the lowest cost of
ownership in its class. The 268A is part of Hino’s class 6 & 7 conventional truck line up that is

of the market. The 10,000th truck will be a part of Penske Truck Leasing’s commercial rental fleet.
“This major milestone began in 2004 when PTL received its first Hino 268 truck. We are proud of our
longstanding partnership with PTL and the delivery of our 10,000th Hino truck, a significant
accomplishment for both companies. We are excited to mark this achievement and look forward to
continuing to provide PTL with best in class trucks,” said Yoshinori Noguchi, President & CEO for
