The company had last year launched AVTR, a modular truck platform to address the varied load-road-application and customer requirements.
“Now, with this innovative product we will give the flexibility to customers. In many applications the load availability is dynamic due to various factors like type of material, onward/return load, seasonality and customer order quantity,” Ashok Leyland COO Anuj Kathuria said.
