Present at the launch, Anuj Kathuria, President, Global Trucks,
Ashok Leyland Ltd., said, “Ashok Leyland has been gaining customers’ trust across
the country, across segments. This has been possible owing to our winning
combination of products, our innovation-led technologies and our customer-first
approach. Karnataka, especially Bengaluru, has been one of our key focus market
and our customers here are seeing the value in investing in our products. As
part of our strategy to further grow and strengthen our leadership, Captain
Haulage and 3718 Plus will play an important role. Both will be leading from
the front in delivering our brand promise of ‘Aapki Jeet. Hamari Jeet’ to our
customers. The winning combination includes competitive price point, higher
fuel efficiency, more payload and heavy duty aggregates resulting in lower
operating cost, maintenance cost, better maneuverability and durability. All of
this combined with our innovative iEGR technology, will help reduce operating
costs for customers, resulting in higher profitability.”
The Captain Haulage trucks are especially designed to deliver
higher uptime and faster turnaround time to meet the high productivity demands
of the logistics industry. Captain is powered by the H series CRS engine with
iEGR technology, and offers high initial pickup, superior driveability and
unmatched fuel economy. With international styling and comfort and designed for
the Indian operating conditions, the Captain offers the best-in-class cabin
