Eicher heavy-duty truck range Uncompromising focus on uptime

The year gone by was undoubtedly the toughest year one would have seen in many decades. The pandemic that started in March 2020 brought the whole country, including the commercial vehicle industry and over 10 million trucks, to a screeching halt — paralysing cargo movement completely. While the economy has now started reviving, various industries are still facing the adverse effects of last year. Hence, it is critical now for every sector, including the transportation industry, which is the backbone of the economy and the barometer of the economic health of the country, to work harder and non-stop to make up for the lost time.
