• ... that after an emissions fraud scandal caused more than a year of delay, Japanese truckmakers Hino and Fuso are merging into Archion?

• Source: Delay, scandal: "Back in May 2023, the four companies reached an agreement in principle and announced their intention to complete the business integration by the end of 2024. [...] However, Hino’s engine emissions scandal, which surfaced in 2022, delayed the integration process, leading to an indefinite postponement in February 2024." Japan News. Fraud: "Hino Motors [...], a subsidiary of Japanese automaker Toyota [...], pleaded guilty on Wednesday over a multi-year emissions fraud scheme" Reuters. Timing of merger: "Daimler Truck and Toyota have revealed further details about the planned merger of their Japanese commercial vehicle brands Mitsubishi Fuso and Hino Motors. The new holding company will be called Archion and is due to begin operations on 1 April 2026." Electrive.

• • ALT1: ... that combining Hino and Fuso vehicles creates Archion?
  • Reviewed:
  • Comment: April 1 is the day this becomes effective, so if anyone has a way of appropriately making light of this business, by all means go ahead, and queue it accordingly. (The best I could come up with was that Hino and Fuso vehicles combine into Archion...like Voltron.)

Reviewing this article as part of a QPQ. Article meets the criteria for DYK having been nominated a day after creation, with no other eligibility issues. Article is above 1500 characters long. The hook concept seems interesting but I don't know how much it would trigger interest among the average reader. The ALT hook however is much better for this nomination and it would fit well with WP:DYKAPRIL. No image used so that's all good for the nomination. Should be good to go.

• PresentlySuraye3, if you are going to use the checklist template, you need to finish filling it out; in particular, the status field must be filled in, and you should also sign it within the template. If not, then you need to use the appropriate icon from the list of symbols above the edit window. Thank you. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:42, 28 February 2026 (UTC)

• • BlueMoonset, apologies for the late response. I tried filling it out but it marked the image section as incomplete, but there are no images on the article at all. I have marked the section as "y" for each prompt, unless there is something specific to put that satisfies the section when there are no images in the article.

    • Never mind, I figured it out. Review should be officially complete now. PresentlySuraye3 (talk) 16:31, 4 March 2026 (UTC)
