Vice President of Daimler India Commercial Vehicles (DICV), Rajaram Krishnamurthy, meanwhile mentioned that although this was the first outlet of the company, several of its vehicles were already operating in the state. “These trucks and buses are very robust and for terrains such as these, it demands top performance, comfort and safety which our company offers,” he stated.
In addition, Anshman Kumar, Zonal Manager of DICV, East Zone explained that Bharatbenz is a 100% subsidy of German manufacturer, Daimler Truck AG, which has been created specifically for the Indian market. “We have been in India for the last 11 years and sold more than 1.4 lakhs trucks,” he said.
