Daimler Launches New Trucks to Boost Mining Vehicle Sales
Daimler's India division is releasing new trucks for mining and construction.
These trucks, including the HX and Torqshift models, are designed to be stronger and more efficient.
The company hopes to sell more trucks, especially by replacing older ones.
They've added a special gear system from Mercedes-Benz that makes driving easier.
The company expects the construction market to grow and plans to export the new trucks after they have enough sales.
The new trucks are priced at ₹56 lakh (HX) and ₹65 lakh (Torqshift).
Daimler India Commercial Vehicles (DICV) launched a new range of heavy-duty mining vehicles.
