Hino Motors will suspend shipments of small trucks after confirming that a widespread data falsification scandal included those models, the firm said Monday, highlighting deepening problems at the Toyota Motor unit.
Hino's President Satoshi Ogiso said during a news conference that, during a transport ministry investigation, additional misconduct regarding emissions was found that affects more than 76,000 vehicles.
The scandal, which came to light in March, was previously not believed to have impacted the smaller trucks, which have been sold since 2019.
