Ashok Leyland, flagship of the Hinduja group, and India’s leading commercial vehicle manufacturer, today launched the robust new AVTR tipper models with high horse power – AVTR 2832 and AVTR 3532. Powered by 8.0L A6 Series engines with iGEN6 technology, these trucks generate 320HP and deliver 1200NM torque. The globally benchmarked A6 engines are indigenously designed and developed by Ashok Leyland to offer excellent torque, incredible acceleration, pulling power and unmatched fuel efficiency.
The AVTR range has been hugely successful and much appreciated for its performance, reliability and durability. The AVTR range comes with H6 and A4 engines for the present and will deliver a maximum of 250 HP. However, there has been a need for a vehicle in the deep mining tipper segment, as the vehicles need to negotiate steep gradients with very high payloads. With the launch of AVTR 2832 and AVTR 3532, Ashok Leyland will be filling this gap and strengthening the tipper portfolio. The launch of these vehicles with the high horsepower A6 engines will help customers for applications like road construction, irrigation, deep mining, boulder quarry and others.
