AMW (Asia Motor Works), a heavy commercial vehicles manufacturer, is planning to increase its network and product range in the eastern region.
The company has already made a foray into markets such as West Bengal, Jharkhand and parts of Orissa including Balasore and Barbil.
Rich mineral resources including coal reserves and increased focus on hydro-electric power generation is likely to bode well for the company’s range of tippers in the medium and heavy vehicles segment, a company statement said.
According to the release, the most popular tipper models are those that find use in the construction, mining and infrastructure sectors.
In India, AMW has a fully integrated manufacturing unit at Bhuj in Gujarat. It has a planned capacity of 50,000 commercial vehicles per annum and employs around 1,200 people.
