Adopting Modularization to Produce Trucks and Buses About Modular Production
Hino Motors positioned modularization as one of its growth strategy initiatives in its Medium-Term Corporate Plan announced in April 2012.
Trucks and other commercial vehicles are assets used by customers in their businesses, and because cargo and usages vary widely, vehicle specifications are becoming more numerous with respect to their engine types, wheel drive systems, loading capacity, and so on. At the same time, there is a trend toward small-lot production of many kinds of products, resulting in a declining number of single vehicle models produced. Furthermore, with the increasing number of vehicle specifications being created, the number and types of vehicle parts have also been on the rise.
For these reasons, Hino Motors adopted a modularization approach to production. It has enabled the Company to make manufacturing processes and parts shipments more efficient by distinguishing between the core components that are integral to the vehicle and the peripheral parts that can be used to customize the vehicle according to the customer's requests.
Hino Motors has standardized its core components and centralized their production in Japan, while increasing the amout of peripheral parts procured locally.
In this way, it could divide up the manufacturing of a wide variety of different vehicle models tailored specifically to the markets where they are sold. This system also allows Hino Motors to shorten lead times and deliver vehicles built according to specifications requested by customers.
Frame construction adapts easily to various vehicle customization
We have introduced a grid hole system that places holes at regular intervals for customization in the frame side of the vehicle body. This grid holing enables us to standardize the fixing brackets for mounting various kinds of parts, and thus improves adaptability for a variety of body designs. Since the suspension and other systems are also fixed by grid hole bolts, we are able to flatten the frame top, improving the ease of customization.
