Hino's New Management Structure
Where all employees "think together, run together, and manufacture vehicles together."
Hino Motors, Ltd. (Hino) is pleased to announce incoming changes to its management structure effective from February 1, 2023. These changes are part of Hino's implementation of its "three reforms" program announced on October 7.
The new management structure, which aims to promote the "three reforms," reflects Hino's commitment to change and to conducting certification processes in a compliant manner. We will review all of our previous processes and rebuild our organizational structure from the ground up. In conjunction with organizational culture reforms, including awareness and behavioral reforms at the management level, we will realize a structure where all employees have a shared purpose across divisions and "think together, run together, and manufacture vehicles together." Furthermore, we are working to foster a corporate culture in which all employees working at Hino work together with the common goal of respecting all Hino staff, contributing customers and society.
Under this new structure, we will build trust with our stakeholders, and make concerted efforts to implement our reforms as quickly as practicable so that we can continue our mission of contributing to customers and society at large.
1. Outline of the New Management Structure
Our new management structure is designed to address issues that have been identified with our existing organizational culture, such as "excessively strong command hierarchy," "broadening of sectionalism," and "failing to promote issues with a sense of speed." Specifically, we will establish an organization (i) that contributes to the development of human resources; (ii) in which every employee contributes to serving customers and society and is committed to Hino's vehicle manufacturing process; and (iii) that is efficient with swift and autonomous decision-making.
We have established an organizational structure that combines Hino's business axis with its functional axis. Under the new structure, each of the business units will be integrated with the upstream and downstream vehicle manufacturing functions within Hino to establish a system focused on serving customers. Business unit staff responsible for Hino products will now be involved in all manufacturing processes including development, production, sales, and total support to support the business operations of customers as well as

appropriate regulatory compliance, rather than the previous role of leading product development from afar. Additionally, by including business unit staff in the whole product development process, certain departments will be consolidated and existing divisions removed, decreasing organizational hierarchy. We will also establish the new role of CxO (a Chief Officer in each function and role) or Function Officer within each function to more easily delegate authority and accelerate decision-making. By doing so, we aim to eliminate inefficiencies, becoming an organization that can think quickly and make independent judgments, while creating high quality products that contribute to our customers and society. We will also bolster internal management oversight by re-establishing the position of general manager to provide leadership and foster a corporate culture that respects each and every employee.
Through the transformation of Hino into an organization that integrally involves its employees across all stages of planning and development, sales, and production, we aim to foster a holistic view of the entire organization as well as a cooperative and collaborative mindset, awareness of each employee's involvement within the activities of the Company, and the employee's ability to consider, decide and propose solutions. As a result, our organization will be able to more effectively contribute to customers and society. In addition, these reforms will have the effect of proactively fostering the development of the personnel who will play a leading role in Hino's activities going forward.

Charoen Pokphand Group ("CP") in Thailand and Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota) recently announced* that they will explore a collaboration toward carbon neutrality in Thailand. This initiative also involves companies that have invested in the Commercial Japan Partnership Technologies Corporation. These companies and CP, which is a customer of Hino, have invited Hino to participate in this initiative in Thailand. We take this opportunity seriously and we will promptly put in place a structure to implement this initiative. We will do our utmost so that we can give back to the people of Thailand who have nurtured the Hino brand and can earn as much trust as possible in our contribution to this initiative.
We recognize that it is firstly a major premise for us to sincerely promote our efforts to change the awareness and behavior of each individual, led by the management, and to make us essential to the world. We will once again engage with our stakeholders and make efforts to minimize the impact on our various related parties and to promote the "three reforms."
* CP and Toyota to join forces to study path toward carbon neutrality in Thailand
