In 1991, HINO became the first Japanese truck maker to enter the Dakar. And ever since, HINO has finished in all 30 Dakar races in which it has taken part - a race that is considered to be the most grueling in the world. In 1997, HINO surprised the world, becoming the first team to make a 1-2-3 sweep in the camion category. Since then, HINO has been runner-up for 3 years and is till going strong as one of the top teams in the category. Additionally, HINO won for 7 consecutive years (1996-2002) in the under 10-litre class. While this class was abolished thereafter for two years, after being reinstated in 2005, HINO won in 2005, 2007, 2010-2021.
