Eicher Trucks and Buses has announced its entry into the Small Commercial Vehicle (SCV) segment with the global unveiling of its EV-First Eicher Truck at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2024. This move reflects Eicher’s commitment to providing innovative, sustainable, and economically viable transportation solutions, with a Pro Business Pro Planet range spanning from 2T to 3.5T GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight). The newly introduced product is poised to support city and near-city distribution while facilitating last-mile logistics.
Vinod Aggarwal, MD & CEO of VE Commercial Vehicles Limited, stated during the global unveil, ‘As India grows in the Amrit Kaal, the SCV segment will be driven by rapid urbanisation, booming e-commerce, increased personal consumption, and the rise of the hub-and-spoke distribution. Our upcoming range will play a pivotal role in this transformation with its Pro Business, Pro Planet approach.’
The SCV vehicle from Eicher is scheduled for customer trials in April 2024, with commercial rollout expected in the first quarter of 2025. The product has been designed and developed in India and will be manufactured at the state-of-the-art facility in Bhopal, standing as a proud example of the government’s Make in India initiative.
To ensure a superior aftermarket experience, all Eicher vehicles feature 100% connectivity through the innovative Uptime Centre, leveraging AI for remote diagnostics and minimising downtime. Integrated with ‘My Eicher’ fleet management, trucks deliver valuable performance insights. Eicher remains committed to comprehensive truck support, providing training, ensuring prompt parts delivery, and facilitating convenient annual maintenance contracts.
