Presentation of Data

Although the cost of a new diesel-hybrid truck (Refer to Table 2 and Figure 4 on Hino 300 Series Hybrid Truck) may
be higher compared to a new diesel truck (Refer to Figure 5 on Mitsubishi Fuso Canter), the substantial savings from
using a diesel-hybrid with improved 30% fuel economy could make up for the price difference.
