Ashok Leyland is planning to come up with multiple products for various segments as it aims to de-risk its business, which is currently skewed towards heavy and commercial vehicles. The company is all set to introduce a new range of light commercial vehicles (LCVs) later this month and is also looking at electric mobility and products for the defence sector to drive its future growth.
With a new range of LCVs and expertise in electric buses coming in handy, the company is now ready with ambitious plans for a major play in the international markets. The company has already upgraded its heavy commercial vehicles (AVTR) range earlier this year.
Ashok Leyland, the Hinduja Group flagship company in India, is engaged in the manufacturing of commercial vehicles and related components. The company’s products include buses, trucks, engines, defense and special vehicles.
