Hello people,
I will get straight to the point here. Did Hino manufacture the H series engines for Toyota Landcruiser or not? All research conducted so far has not revealed conclusive proof from any official source, ie Toyota's/Hino's websites. All evidence comes from forums or reviews and hearsay so the arguement lies therein.
Can anyone offer conclusive proof of this?
Cheers.

Up until 2003 Toyota owned only about 20% of Hino, Hino manufactured some Toyota vehicles under a licence agreement and supplied Toyota with some light duty vehicles.
In 2003 Hino became a subsidiary of Toyota Motor Company.
There would of been a good chance of Hino being involved with the development of the 2H as at that time Toyota was more into petrol engine manufacturing then diesels.
Much the same as Yamaha designed and built engines for Toyota.... most of the twin cam engines were Yamaha designed and built.
