At the Sydney event Mark Geyer summed up the significance of Hino Australia's premise of 'delivering from one generation to the next' for the next generation of footballers. Watch the video >>
"I'm from a past generation, but now I've got kids playing sport and the kids here today are the next generation," Mr Geyer said.
"The kids are obviously too young to know the full importance of what Hino is contributing, but for the administrators and coaches of these junior clubs it makes the job of coming here every week to train a lot easier."
Hino Australia Chairman and CEO Steve Lotter said helping the next generation of footballers around Australia was another great way for the brand to celebrate its heritage.
"We saw a lot of young football players around the country get some great advice and new skills from some big NRL and AFL household names," Mr Lotter said.
"We've been celebrating the quality of our vehicles and the benefit they've played in people's lives over the past 50 years - and we're looking forward to the role Hino will play in Australia's transport future.
"This has been a chance to invest in future generations of sports people and, judging by the smiles of all those involved, it has been very worthwhile."
