Ashok Leyland, the Indian flagship of the Hinduja Group and a leading commercial vehicle manufacturer, has secured an order for 715 vehicles from VRL Logistics. The order comprises AVTR 3120 haulage trucks, BOSS 1615 trucks and Oyster staff buses and marks a significant deepening of a decades-long partnership.

The trucks are described as equipped with state-of-the-art features and technologies engineered to deliver superior operational performance and reliability. These capabilities are expected to reduce maintenance downtime and unplanned stoppages while enhancing fleet efficiency and productivity, leading to higher vehicle uptime and optimised operations. The arrangement is projected to support VRL Logistics' growth and service excellence.

The milestone underscores a partnership built over decades, combining Ashok Leyland's leadership in commercial vehicles with VRL Logistics' position as one of India's largest surface transportation companies. Media queries were directed to the companies' corporate communications teams.
