Ashok Leyland, flagship of the
Hinduja Group, and a leading commercial vehicle manufacturer in India, took the
covers off four all-new next-generation technology products at the Auto Expo
2016,. They also displayed a variant of their ever popular Dost.
Inspired by the ‘Made in
India’, the 4940 Euro 6 truck is
built to exacting standards, using latest engineering and technological
knowledge, and meets the strict Euro 6 emission norms. Euro 6 norms demand a
dramatic reduction in NOx and particulate matter – as low as one-tenth compared
to existing Euro 3 norms. Achieving these norms requires a significant leap in
technological capability, and a strong dose of Indian ingenuity. The 4940 Euro
6 truck does this using Indian innovation, and offers world-class norms at
Indian costs.
Hybus, India’s first non-plug in hybrid bus, comes from Ashok
Leyland’s ambition to create a better future for the planet. Hybus helps reduce emissions, and offers
significant efficiencies in operating costs. Especially designed for urban
transport with start-stop cycles, Ultra capacitors provide the diesel motor
with necessary power for movement.
GURU – a modern day automotive engineered to be the complete
package of versatility, strength and endurance is the latest offering in the
ICV segment. With the lowest kerb weight, Guru offers the highest payload
capability in its segment. With a load body that offers the maximum volumetric
capacity, Guru can carry a higher volume of cargo on every trip. Aluminum alloy
wheels, and aluminum load body fitments further complement its payload capacity.
The H-series CRS engine offering best-in-class mileage, the FIP system helps
lower maintenance costs, better service intervals and lower lube consumption,
combined with best-in-class warranty and affordable AMC, ensure lower lifetime
operating costs.
SUNSHINE – is the next generation school bus built on the premise
of safety and comfort for children. To ensure utmost safety of Sunshine’s
occupants, it has gone above and beyond the basic regulatory requirements by
making Sunshine rollover complaint and frontal crash protected. Further,
Sunshine incorporates i-ALERT, state-of-the-art tracking software, through
which parents can monitor their child’s movements and location, on a real-time basis.
Speaking about the new line-up
of vehicles, Vinod Dasari, Managing Director, Ashok Leyland said, “We are
extremely proud of our new range of vehicles – each of which has been designed
with precision and attention, and represents the best of our technological
expertise and sophisticated R&D capabilities. Our products have always been

market-appropriateness. Our new line-up at the Delhi Auto Expo 2016 will
further reflect these values. We are focusing on sustainable mobility solutions
for a new world, and are confident each of these will address a specific
customer need and help them grow their business and be successful.”
