As a trusted business partner in the commercial vehicle sector, PT Hino Motors Sales Indonesia (HMSI) has once again reaffirmed its commitment to supporting customers through its comprehensive Total Support programme. One concrete example of this support is the role of Senior Inspectors for Pertamina tank trucks, who are at the forefront of ensuring the safety, reliability, and performance of Pertamina's tank truck fleet for fuel distribution in Indonesia.

Hino Senior Inspectors are experienced technical experts who proactively conduct comprehensive inspections of vehicle conditions. Beyond mere inspections, Senior Inspectors also provide preventive maintenance recommendations to prevent serious damage and avoid potential major repair costs in the future.

"The role of inspectors is very important in building safe vehicles, because KNKT investigations have found that several accidents caused by vehicle factors should not have occurred if proper inspections had been carried out from the outset", said Ahmad Wildan, Senior Investigator at KNKT.

This service is designed to provide real added value to customers, particularly in maintaining vehicle uptime, reducing the potential for sudden breakdowns, and ensuring vehicles operate at optimal performance in accordance with government regulations, including compliance with road safety standards.

"Pertamina will continue to strive to provide a fleet of trucks for the safe and secure distribution of fuel and LPG to the Indonesian people", said Taufan Enggar, Operational Manager of Pertamina Patra Niaga.

Senior Inspectors also serve as an important bridge between Hino and customers in communicating technical needs and as the party that provides direct education to customers' internal mechanics and fleet operators. In practice, Senior Inspectors do not only come when there is a problem. They visit regularly to carry out inspection and education programmes. 

“Hino understands that to maintain the sustainability of its customers’ businesses, vehicles must always be in prime condition, safe, and efficient. Therefore, the presence of Senior Inspectors is part of Hino’s commitment to realizing safe transportation for the community and meeting the business needs of its customers,” concluded Pieter Andre, Training Division Head of HMSI.
