Hino has announced the appointment of two additional executives to newly created roles within the company's Australian operation. Mr Shahab Anwar has been appointed Hino Australia Sales Development Manager, while Mr Keiji Takeuchi joins the Australian division as Chief Technical Advisor. Both new appointees joined Hino Australia in April.

Anwar joins Hino Australia following a 16-year stint at Hinopak Motors Limited (Hino Pakistan) where he most recently served as Deputy General Manager Sales and Business Development. For Takeuchi, the new role represents his second stint with Hino Australia, having previously served as Chief Representative of Hino Motors Limited (Japan) from 1988 to 1992.

President and Chief Operating Officer of Hino Motor Sales Australia Steve Lotter said these two new positions have been created to fulfil crucial business requirements as the local operation continues to grow.
"We've established these positions to offer an enhanced range of services to our customers," he said.
"Both appointees have considerable experience with Hino globally, having served with a number of overseas divisions and in a wide variety of roles.
"Hino's model range is broader and more appealing to customers than ever before, and we welcome both Shahab's and Keiji's wealth of industry knowledge in growing our sales base," he said.
