Eicher Trucks and Buses, a division of VE Commercial Vehicles (VECV), has launched the Eicher Pro X Diesel, expanding its next-generation portfolio in the 2–3.5T small commercial vehicle (SCV) segment. Following the debut of the Eicher Pro X EV at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo earlier this year, the new diesel variant combines Eicher’s expertise in fuel efficiency, performance, and application-specific design, catering to customers and regions reliant on diesel-powered solutions.Built through extensive customer collaboration, the new Pro X Diesel range is positioned as an “Expert” solution for small businesses, fleet operators and first-time buyers, delivering best-in-class fuel efficiency, superior uptime, and simplified ownership.The vehicle is powered by the newly developed E449 “X-Factor” diesel engine, engineered for strong drivability and performance across varied terrains. With the segment’s largest cargo deck (10 ft 8 in) and the longest service interval of 30,000 km, the Pro X Diesel is designed to carry more per trip, lower operating costs and boost customer profitability.Commenting on the launch, Vinod Aggarwal, MD & CEO, VE Commercial Vehicles, said, “With the Eicher Pro X Diesel, we take another significant step in transforming last-mile logistics.
