Chennai- Ashok Leyland Limited., of the Hinduja Group., a commercial vehicle manufacturer, today announced that it has received an order from TN STU’s (Tamil Nadu State Transport Undertakings) for 1,666 buses. This is the single largest BSVI order received from State Transport Undertakings and will further contribute to strengthening Ashok Leyland's dominant position in the bus industry.
With over 18000 Ashok Leyland buses in service and making up more than 90% of the fleet, Ashok Leyland has been the most popular brand among TN STUs. These buses will feature the cutting-edge iGen6 BS VI technology, which includes a powerful 147 kW (197 hp) H-series engine, and will be carefully created to assure exceptional passenger comfort. This engine is anticipated to increase comfort, safety, and lower total cost of ownership (TCO).
Mr. Shenu Agarwal, MD & CEO, Ashok Leyland, said that, We are honoured to have obtained from Tamil Nadu State Transport Undertakings the single largest BSVI order ever. In addition to helping us maintain our leadership position in the Indian bus market, particularly with STUs, our ability to deliver value along with our cutting-edge technology and creative solutions will also enable us to explore new horizons as we work to meet the nation's rapidly expanding public mobility needs. We stand out because of our in-depth knowledge of our markets and clients, which has been crucial to our ability to obtain these orders.
Mr. Sanjeev Kumar, President- M&HCV, Ashok Leyland, said that, We are overjoyed to have TN STU's, with whom we have a strong affiliation and a long-standing partnership, place the single largest order for BS VI buses. With this purchase, we will undoubtedly pass the impressive threshold of having over 20,000 of our buses running with TN STUs. This demonstrates the dependability, toughness, and durability of our buses. We provide the greatest product experience in the business and the lowest cost of ownership.
Ashok Leyland is the 4th manufacturer of buses in India. This order is another significant stride in fortifying its leadership position and further emphasizes the enduring trust that Tamil Nadu STUs consistently bestow upon Ashok Leyland's outstanding products and services.
