In 1980 it seemed to me that every other tour bus in China was a Hino. Now in 2007, Hino, a subsidiary of Toyota has created a joint venture with Guangzhou Auto Group (GAIG). The partnership will produce and sell commercial vehicles.
According to greencarcongress.com, "The new JV is based on reorganization of Guangzhou Yangcheng Automobile Co., Ltd. (a company invested in by Guangzhou Automobile Group) and Shenyang Shenfei Hino Automobile Manufacturing Co., (a company invested in by Hino)."
This fits nicely with Toyotas other choice of location in the south, namely its already established passenger vehicle and engine ventures with GAIG.
