L6, L7 or L8: at Hino Rive-Sud in Boucherville, our team can analyze your actual usage and recommend the right model, the right wheelbase and the most cost-effective options for your fleet. 1. Introduction: the real challenges facing fleets on the South Shore Every working day on Montreal’s South Shore puts your trucks to the test. Tight driveways, congested industrial parks, busy streets in Boucherville, Longueuil or Varennes, repeated loading and unloading, mixed routes between commercial zones and busy arteries – this is the daily reality for your drivers and your vehicles. In this context, the choice of a medium-duty truck is not a trivial decision. It has to be robust, maneuverable, comfortable, reliable over the long term and easy to maintain. The Hino L-Series, comprising the L6, L7 and L8 models , has been designed precisely for this type of work. It combines a proven powertrain (Cummins B6.7 + Allison 6-speed), a heavy-duty chassis adapted to the level of use of each model, and a cab designed for the daily comfort of operators. As a specialized dealer on the South Shore, Hino Rive-Sud is with you every step of the way: from choosing the right model to maintenance, repair, parts and regulatory inspections. 2. Overview: Hino L6, L7 and L8 Hino’s L-Series covers a GVWR range from around 25,500 lb to 35,000 lb, positioning it firmly in classes 6 and 7. Three models make up this family: The L6: a versatile entry-level model for delivery and service. The L7: the heavy-duty all-rounder, for heavier loads and more demanding bodywork. The L8: the strongest member of the family, for intensive use and the toughest applications. Despite their different capacities, all three models share the same design philosophy: a forward cabin with maximum visibility, a standardized powertrain (Cummins B6.7 + Allison 6-speed) and a high-strength steel chassis designed for North American bodies.
