Ashok Leyland Wins Order for 715 Vehicles from VRL Logistics

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 company stated that the contract further reinforces its position as a trusted mobility partner.

Deliveries are progressing as planned, with 300 trucks already handed over and the remaining 415 scheduled for execution in the current year. The shipment timeline is intended to support VRL Logistics' expanding fleet requirements and operational plans.

VRL Logistics' managing director Anand Sankeshwar conveyed confidence in the quality, reliability and performance of Ashok Leyland vehicles, noting that robust after-sales support and an expanding service network provide a clear operational advantage. He described the fresh order as a strategic step to drive higher logistics efficiency and said it aligns with the company's forward-looking transport strategy. He added that the companies expect sustained benefits from the enhanced collaboration.

Ashok Leyland's national sales head for medium and heavy commercial vehicles, Madhavi Deshmukh, said the firm was pleased to strengthen the long-standing relationship with VRL Logistics. She noted that VRL had collaborated closely in developing new products and features tailored to logistics customers, and that the order reflected trust in Ashok Leyland's technology and performance. The company reaffirmed its commitment to developing advanced, safe and efficient mobility solutions.

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.
