Parked on the test track within the VE Commercial Vehicles (VECV) plant at Pithampur, the two Pro 2000 series make a pretty sight. They are a new addition to the range of CVs VECV makes. Comprising of two truck models – Pro 2049 with a GVW of five-tonnes, and Pro 2095 with a GVW of 10.7-tonnes, the Pro 2000 series signals a significant change at the Light and Medium-Duty (LMD) level. It also hints at modularity, and is one of the most versatile platforms to roll out of VECV in recent times. Developed in a span of the last three to four years involving extensive feedback from customers and operators in their respective segments, the two trucks have arrived at a time the CV industry is reeling under a slowdown. Looking modern and pointing at an effort to dial superior productivity, the Pro 2049 and Pro 2095 come with industry-first features like disc brakes all-round (the Pro 2095 comes with pneumatically actuated drum brakes), advanced telematics with real-time driver coaching and an infotainment system. Highlighting safety, comfort and efficiency, the Pro 2049 and Pro 2095 sport an all-new safety cabin that is built on a new line. Unlike the ‘legacy’ cabin, which was updated from time-to-time, and measures two-metres in width, the cab of the Pro 2049 and Pro 2095 measures 1.8 m and two-metres respectively.
