BharatBenz Launches India’s First 5228TT on a 4x2 Tractor

Chennai:  Daimler India Commercial Vehicles (DICV) has launched its next generation heavy-duty BharatBenz tractor-trailer. The 5228TT model comes with the highest GCW available on a 4x2 tractor possible up to 54T. The product is unique as it provides the benefits of a tractor-trailer but with decreased total cost of ownership thanks in part to its unique axle configuration. The vehicle’s hub reduction axle and sturdier frame allow the truck to offer the load bearing capacity of a 6x4 tractor, but with lower fuel consumption.
 
Speaking on the introduction of the product, Mr. Rajaram Krishnamurthy, Vice President Marketing & Sales and Customer Services, DICV said, “Our new BharatBenz 52 tonner sets higher benchmarks for the tractor trailer segment with improved revenue, fuel efficiency, safety and connectivity. The unique axle configuration allows it to carry loads far above competitors in the same grade. Customers will rethink their traditional buying decisions once they see the TCO this vehicle offers.”
