The BharatBenz 3532CM model is powered by a BS-VI compliant OM926 engine delivering 320 hp and 1,250 Nm of torque, available with both manual and AMT options. With loadbody options of 18/19 Cu.m scoop or 27 Cu.m coal body, the truck is designed for tough mining applications.

This alliance is expected to expand further into infrastructure segments, bolstering BharatBenz’s reach and support across India’s heavy-duty commercial vehicle landscape.
