Ashok Leyland, the Hinduja Group flagship, today launched its new 5-axle truck here. Offering a payload of up to 25 tonnes, the company claims that is one of the most efficient vehicles in its category. A new feature of the product is its five axles - two steerable front axles, two rear axles and a self-steerable pusher lift axle at the middle that gives the vehicle better balance and greater efficiency in carrying more loads. Vinod K. Dasari, Managing Director, said, “The vehicle has been carefully designed and engineered to meet a specific customer requirement for higher capacity rigid trucks that can carry more loads translating into better operational economics.”
