BharatBenz Launches New Mining Range to Support India’s Infra Growth

Chennai, India: The Indian construction and mining equipment sector is set to grow significantly, projected to increase from $16 billion to $45 billion by 2030. To support this expansion, Daimler India Commercial Vehicles (DICV), a wholly owned subsidiary of Daimler Truck AG, has launched its all-new BharatBenz Construction and Mining range. This range includes the HX and Torqshift series models, designed to meet the critical demand for reliable, high-performance vehicles as large contractors modernise their fleets and invest in owned assets.

The HX and Torqshift series have undergone rigorous real-world validation, with over 150 trucks tested in India's most demanding construction and mining environments. These trials have shown substantial improvements in uptime, operational efficiency, and profitability, leading to the trucks' full-scale production.
Satyakam Arya, Managing Director and CEO of Daimler India Commercial Vehicles, commented, “India’s construction and mining sector is a key pillar of national development. With large contractors now investing in owned assets, we’re witnessing a major fleet replacement cycle. Our trials with over 150 trucks have validated their real-world performance, making them a game-changer for the industry.”

Comprehensive Range for Diverse Applications:
  • Heavy-Duty Construction Vehicles: The HX series, featuring models like the 2828C HX and 3532C HX, are engineered for extreme durability, fuel efficiency, and optimal drivability. Available in two configurations, these trucks deliver unmatched performance under tough conditions with features such as Hill Hold Assist, unitized front axle bearings, and advanced driver state monitoring systems.
  • Specialised Mining Vehicles: The Torqshift series, including 2832CM and 3532CM variants, offers globally proven AMT for zero-lag performance and enhanced fuel efficiency in mining applications.
  • Ready Mix Concrete (RMC) Solutions: The 2828C RMC variant, with a 9 cubic meter capacity, is powered by the OM 926 BSVI OBD-II engine, designed to deliver reliable concrete transport across rugged terrains.
Pradeep Kumar Thimmaiyan, President & Chief Technology Officer of DICV, explained, “The HX series is designed to meet real customer challenges, from higher payloads to lower maintenance costs. We’ve also focused on driver safety, ensuring compliance with EU ECE R29-03 standards.”

What Sets the HX Range Apart:
  • High Gradeability: Up to 60% in the 2828C and up to 54% in the 3532C models for confident climbing with full loads.
  • 360° Reliability: Engineered to ensure all components—frame, axle, braking, and engine—work seamlessly together.
  • Best-in-Class Warranty: Tailored to ensure long-term ownership confidence.
Rajiv Chaturvedi, President & Chief Business Officer of DICV, added, “The HX range minimizes project delays and optimizes operations for fleet operators. Features like GPS, hill start assist, and enhanced driver comfort are gaining popularity, along with safety innovations like reverse cameras and driver state monitoring.”

The expanded portfolio is available across BharatBenz’s 385 dealer touchpoints throughout India, supported by a robust service infrastructure and 15,000 hours of annual maintenance contracts to ensure operational reliability. The company’s advanced uptime center hub uses diagnostic technology and real-time vehicle monitoring to predict and prevent service interruptions, helping operators maintain optimal vehicle performance.
BharatBenz has solidified its position as a trusted partner in India’s construction and mining sectors, contributing to major infrastructure projects across the nation. As India accelerates its infrastructure development, the company remains committed to providing innovative, safe, and reliable solutions to fuel this growth.
