ADME commentary
The ADME angle
Hino's move to expand its Built to Go range is a direct response to the long wait times that have been plaguing the truck delivery process
What it means for the order bank
The reduction in wait times will likely lead to increased customer satisfaction and loyalty, as buyers will be able to get their trucks on the road faster, which can lead to increased repeat business and positive word-of-mouth for dealers
The Built to Go range is designed to provide a more streamlined process, which can also lead to cost savings for dealers, as they will not have to hold inventory for as long, and can free up resources to focus on other areas of the business
Impact on competitor response
Other truck manufacturers will likely take notice of Hino's move and consider similar strategies to stay competitive, which could lead to a shift in the market towards more efficient delivery processes, and dealers should be prepared to adapt to these changes
The expansion of the Built to Go range is a strategic move by Hino to differentiate itself from its competitors and provide a better customer experience, which can lead to increased market share and revenue for dealers who are able to effectively promote and sell these models
Action for dealers
One decisive action a dealer could take this week is to review their current inventory and ordering processes to identify areas where they can streamline their operations and reduce wait times, and consider working with Hino to promote the Built to Go range and its benefits to customers
