Ashok Leyland Launches Air Suspension Trucks

Chennai – Ashok Leyland Limited., the commercial vehicle flagship of the Hinduja Group, has introduced India’s first range of heavy-duty trucks equipped with air suspension technology. The new lineup includes the AVTR 4925 10x2 MAV (49T), AVTR 4625 10x2 MAV (46T), and AVTR 4525 8x2 MAV (45T), offering payload advantages of up to four tonnes while improving ride comfort, stability, and operating efficiency.

The AVTR 4925 10x2 MAV is India’s first 49-tonne truck with air suspension and offers a payload advantage of 1.5 tonnes. The AVTR 4625 10x2 MAV and AVTR 4525 8x2 MAV are India’s first 46-tonne and 45-tonne trucks with air suspension, respectively, each offering a payload advantage of up to four tonnes.

Ashok Leyland said the new range has been developed to improve productivity, reduce operating costs, and enhance customer profitability. The air suspension system improves vehicle stability under loaded conditions, reduces vibrations and shocks, enhances ride comfort on uneven roads, and extends tyre life. The maintenance-free rear suspension also eliminates the need for greasing, helping reduce maintenance costs and improve the overall total cost of ownership.

Mr. Shenu Agarwal, Managing Director and CEO of Ashok Leyland, said the company has consistently led technological innovation in the Indian commercial vehicle industry. He added that the new air suspension truck range reinforces this leadership by delivering higher payload capacity, improved comfort, and enhanced performance.

Mr. Sanjeev Kumar, President – MHCV, Ashok Leyland, said the trucks have been designed to meet evolving customer requirements by offering better efficiency, reliability, and overall value. He noted that improved stability, reduced vibrations, superior ride comfort, and longer tyre life contribute to a better ownership experience.

The new trucks are available in both cowl and cabin configurations, with multiple loading span options to suit different applications. They are also equipped with iVAC (Intelligent Vehicle Acceleration Control) and ATC (Automatic Traction Control) as standard features, helping improve fuel efficiency and traction across varying road conditions.

With this launch, Ashok Leyland aims to strengthen its position as a technology leader in the Indian commercial vehicle industry by offering advanced solutions that improve productivity, profitability, and operational efficiency.
