The new Eicher 1049XP marks Volvo Eicher Commercial Vehicle’s entry into the sub-five tonne truck segment.
The Eicher 1049XP is Volvo Eicher Commercial Vehicle’s (VECV) first sub-five tonne offering. Derived from the 1059XP, a 7.2-tonne GVW truck, the 1049XP looks modern and attractive. It comes from a company whose trucks in the nine- to 16-tonne segments are known to have helped transporters to build their business. One look at the specifications of the 1049XP, and it is clear that this truck would compete against the likes of Tata 407 and Mahindra Cab King. Adding to the Pro 1000 Series, the 1049XP is a forward control design. Flaunting good levels of fit and finish, the truck, offering a payload capacity of 2.8-tonne, has a GVW of 4.9-tonnes. Sharing the cabin with the 1059XP, it may be easy to mistake the 1049XP for a 1059XP and vice versa. Those who are familiar with the 1059XP will agree that the cabin of the 1049XP is spacious. Spacious it is indeed. It also hints at commonality of parts and the capability of suppliers. According to R S Sachdeva, Executive Vice President - Technology, VECV, “An ‘Indian-ised’ version of Volvo Group’s supplier development and procurement system called the ‘SIPD’ is deployed at VECV.” The system, said Sachdeva, not only makes for a free flow of know how at either end, it also ensures transparency that provides a supplier the much needed assurance to conduct business. Apart from streamlining the processes and supplier interaction, the SIPD also has an effect on the entire product lifecycle, which helps the dealer to attend to the service requirements of the truck operator. With an eye on the Euro 6 legislation, VECV has been investing in worldclass testing facilities at its plant at Pithampur.
