Since 2012, BharatBenz has been part of the Daimler Truck commercial vehicle family. The brand was developed specifically for the Indian market. BharatBenz offers a range of ultra-modern trucks in all weight categories from 10 to 55 tonnes. All vehicles are produced locally, with components and parts sourced from Indian suppliers. The BharatBenz models are tailored specifically to the subcontinent's market and meet a wide range of requirements in the transport and construction sectors. They are ideally suited to the climatic and economic conditions in India.
Better efficiency and pride of ownership
The key benefits of BharatBenz trucks are:
- Efficiency: fuel-efficient engines ensuring lowest Total Cost of Ownership
- Global technology: Daimler Truck product lineage and know-how, for example in implementing emission norms such as Euro VI, means the brand brings reliable and globally proven technology to Indian customers.
- Pride of Ownership: Owning or driving a ‘Benz’ product is often a source of pride.
Young, successful, established
Within no time at all, BharatBenz has become an aspirational brand as well as a strong contender in India's commercial vehicle industry. In the market since September 2012, the brand now offers a comprehensive truck product portfolio from 9 to 55 tonnes. BharatBenz trucks are produced at Daimler India Commercial Vehicles in Oragadam near Chennai, in a state-of-the-art manufacturing plant that spreads over 400 acres (160 hectares). The premises include a highly modern test track and are home to the company’s headquarters, R&D and training operations.
