When talking about Indian Truck manufacturers, Eicher is one of the foremost brands that stepped into the market at the initial stage with the launch of its first indigenous tractor in the market in 1959.
Later in the next year EICHER became EICHER Tractor India Ltd. After acquiring a major stake in Enfield India Ltd, they became what we today know as EICHER Motors Ltd. In 1982, Eicher motors took a step ahead and formed a joint venture with Mitsubishi Motors to manufacture light commercial vehicles.
This made Eicher and the Volvo group come together in a 50-50 joint venture and establish VE Commercial Vehicles Limited. Together they changed the commercial vehicle market and brought their segment of pro series high-performance trucks with their own Euro 6 engine technology and CNG engine technology for LCV, MCV, HCV.
Eicher’s high-end products are loaded with performance upgrades leaving other truck brands behind in the segment of AMT technology and BS IV truck range. Their zero-emission electric vehicles and 7-speed technology gave them the status of global leaders in the CV industry.
EICHER truck spare parts are known for their best-in-class fuel efficiency and affordable truck spare parts which made them popular among those who require heavy material transport daily.
They joined the revolution and brought their medium-duty 9 tonne and 12-tonne products into the market in the late 90s. 2002 was the year that the brand ventured into the high potential heavy-duty segment and presented the world with its first 16-tonne jumbo truck which was a huge success.
