Ashok Leyland Unveils New Range Of Trucks
On the launch, it was revealed that the futuristic platform called U-Truck will have 25 fully built tractors tippers and haulage trucks in the next 18 months, ranging from 16 to 49 tonne payload carry capacity.
R Seshasayee, Managing Director of Ashok Leyland said the new range of U-Truck has been manufactured keeping in mind the different needs of customers. The U-4936 tractor and U-2523 tipper are the initial two prototype models of the platform.
“The U-Truck is a new range, a new platform and it is a new platform because it is built around the needs of the customers. One particular customer's need is not necessarily the same as another customer's needs because the operating businesses are different, the loads are different, the roads are different, the financial requirements are different, and the service needs are different," said he said Seshasayee.
While the new platform is designed to meet the Bharat Stage (BS) III, BS IV and even BS V emission norms, it would also have increased power and fuel efficiency.
The company has also announced its plans to shift all existing products under the new platform by March 31, 2013. Besides, the new models that are to be introduced will also have different variants.
