AVTR FROM ASHOK LEYLAND

AVTR from Ashok Leyland combines BSVI technology with modularisation.

- Deepti Thore

Unveiling its modularisation strategy last year along with the move up to BSVI emission control technology, Ashok Leyland has launched a new range of trucks in the 18.5-tonnes to 55-tonnes range under the AVTR nomenclature. Highlighting an ability to be at home in the Indian market as well as the exports markets in either a right-hand drive guise or a left-hand drive guise, the new modular BSVI trucks (the SCR and iEGR-based BSVI technology is termed as ‘i-Gen6’ and ‘Mid-NOx’ by the company) are configurable by the buyer as per his requirements of duty cycle, load and other factors. Empowering CV buyers from different walks of life to configure a vehicle of their choice, may it be mining, construction, e-commerce, cement, etc., the AVTR CVs could be had in over six lakh combinations. Offering the buyer the ability to choose key aggregates like engine (there is a choice of five engines from 200 hp to 600 hp), chassis (as per the loading span, loading type, etc.), suspension, cab, axles, wheels, drivetrains, and load body or superstructure, the new modular BSVI CVs from Ashok Leyland have been broadly positioned across rigid, tipper and tractor segments.
