Ashok Leylandhosted the national launch of the first Captain 40iT truck, from its popular Captain series of trucks in Jaipur.
Co-created with drivers and users through an extensive study of their lifestyle, the new Captain 40iT has been designed specifically for Indian requirements. It has undergone more than 2.3 million km of on-road testing, and extensive internal testing on pave tracks and 6 posters. It features an intelligent engine management system - the dual data switch - that ensures optimal fuel consumption on empty and full loads at the flick of a switch. A flat torque ensures lesser gear shifts, while the CRS engine ensures optimal performance. The new Captain 40iT offers better pickup, ease of repair, and the highest cab tilt angle in the industry.

The Captain 40iT is powered by a turbocharged diesel engine that churns out 180 horsepower and generates maximum torque of 660Nm.
