Ever since the launch of its trucks, the promise of superior value to customers has been constantly delivered and BharatBenz has introduced industry-first value offers along with its trucks. This has not only led to renew the belief in Indian Trucking by our customers but has actually driven other players to follow us in offering new features and services than ever before. The end beneficiary of this change is the Indian trucker. BharatBenz is proud to have triggered such a positive change and will continue to do so in future.
As on date there are more than 5000 Medium & Heavy-duty BharatBenz trucks on Indian roads delivering superior value which customers have longed for over a long time.
Mr. Marc Llistosella, Managing Director & CEO said, “When we launched our brand and our trucks we stated clearly that we will deliver superior value to our customers and will also transform the Indian trucking industry. We are proud that we have already begun achieving this in such a short time, especially when the industry has been through one of its worst phases.
We will continue to deliver more value to our customers. We are also confident that the change that we have triggered in the industry will ensure that the Indian trucker will realize the potential in his hands which he had been missing in the past”.
