Hino Motors announced that Chairman Yoshio Shimo, who is the representative director, will retire at the general meeting of shareholders scheduled for June.
At Hino Motors, fraud has been discovered over national certifications regarding engine emissions and fuel efficiency, and the certifications required for the production of vehicles equipped with this engine have been revoked by the national government.
The chairman, who took office from president to chairman last June, explains that the company's retirement is due to the expiration of the director's term.
