Daimler India on Friday launched new heavy duty trucks which meet BS-IV norms. The company said the new trucks were priced the same as BS-III vehicles.
Daimler India Managing Director Erich Nesselhauf said that with the new launches, BharatBenz was all set to enter the next stage.
He said that with around 1,000 BS-IV trucks handed over to customers already, BharatBenz was leading the BS-IV transition in the commercial vehicles segment.
The vehicles launched on Friday come fitted with 'Profit Technology': Fuel consumption is low, maintenance cost has been lowered by 15 per cent, kerb weight reduced by 400 kg, which means payload can increase by 400 kg.
