MAN flags off pan-India drive

MAN Trucks India has undertaken a unique customer outreach, named ?The MAN

Expedition?. The activity comprises five haulage trucks starting from Pune,

Dhanbad and Kochi, respectively that will traverse the country over 22 days.

Collectively these five trucks, helmed by 10 Master Drivers, will travel more than

9,000 km and converge at the company?s factory at Pithampur, near Indore.

MAN?s dealer partners have organised various customer engagement

programmes at 29 locations across India. The Pune to Pithampur route was

flagged off and the vehicles are already in Gujarat.

The CLA Evo series trucks in this drive include 40.250, 49.250 and 49.300 tractors and

31.300 rigid truck. All these vehicles are carrying rated payload to demonstrate

performance in true operating conditions. Two tractors are equipped with semi-wall

trailers; one with a flat-bed trailer; and one with container trailer. These vehicles will stop

at dealer locations as well as at transport nagars and dhabas. Engagement activities for

customers and drivers will be conducted at all locations.

Joerg Mommertz, Chairman and Managing Director, MAN Trucks India, said,

?MAN is well established as a manufacturer of reliable, efficient and high-performance

vehicles. Our trucks have become the benchmark of product lifecycle and

TCO, be it tractors, rigids, on-road and mining tippers. The MAN Expedition provides

an opportunity for customers to study our vehicles and to interact with us. We believe

that our haulage range consists of the right solutions to meet customers? operational

demands. The implementation of GST has already had a positive impact on the

logistics and transportation business. With an MAN, customers can further enhance their

efficiencies and profitability.?
