BharatBenz Unveils HX And Torqshift Mining Trucks

With India’s mining and construction equipment market forecast to jump from USD 16 billion to USD 45 billion by 2030, Daimler India Commercial Vehicles (DICV) has launched two new BharatBenz truck lines: the HX series for construction and Torqshift for mining. Priced from Rs 5.6 million ex showroom, the heavy duty models have undergone extensive trials, logging service in more than 150 of the country’s toughest sites.

The tests, which covered uptime, operating efficiency and profitability, paved the way for full scale production. DICV—holder of over 50 per cent share in the construction and mining truck segment—reports notable gains in turnaround times and payload capability.

Managing Director and Chief Executive Satyakam Arya said the sector remains a key growth pillar, with many eight  to ten year old fleets due for replacement as contractors opt for owned assets. Chief Technology Officer Pradeep Kumar Thimmaiyan added that the HX was engineered in direct response to customer demands for higher payloads, quicker cycles and lower maintenance costs.

Safety has been prioritised through full EU ECE R29 03 cabin compliance and a suite of best in class features, underscoring BharatBenz’s commitment to driver welfare as well as performance.
