Which BharatBenz Commercial Vehicles Are Most Popular Throughout The Country

Logistics is an ever-changing industry. Not only does the supply and demand of various amenities fluctuate, but transportation of some materials requires specific commercial vehicles. Any premium heavy vehicle manufacturer should face up to this challenge, and BharatBenz certainly doesn’t back down. In Punjab, BharatBenz is a common name among the transportation circles, renowned for quality and value on their vehicles as they try to live up to the name of their better-known sister company, Mercedes-Benz.

In their entirety, BharatBenz trucks can be classified into four main categories, each suited for different purposes and varying loads. Through their exclusive dealer, Globe Trucking, you can come to terms as to just how vast their inventory is. Since the new age of e-commerce has focused more on faster and more efficient delivery of goods, BharatBenz is responsible for a lot of vehicles on the road operating in crucial industries. Still, you might be wondering which ones are the most popular. No worries. Here is a list, by each category, of the most popular commercial vehicles manufactured by BharatBenz.

• Medium Duty Trucks: 1617R

Ok, we are starting off strong. If you ever picture a BharatBenz truck in your mind, chances are it would be an MDT (Medium Duty Truck). Popular because of its versatility, thanks to an adjustable loading bed span of up to 31 feet, this is the pride and joy of Globe Trucking. Fit to haul heavy containers and refrigerated beds alike, the 1617R is fit for a wide range of transport duties. It comes as no surprise that BharatBenz sold 574 of these trucks in 2020, despite Punjab being ravaged by the pandemic. And yes, that is just in one state.

What makes the 1617R so lucrative for most operators is that it is a jack of all trades. It packs efficiency, comfort, convenience, and power in a package that is competitively priced. Its BS VI rated engine drinks much less diesel than it more obsolete competitors, saving a lot of fuel when you consider the size of a truck fleet. Even the drivers love it since it has a comfortable interior and can go thousands of kilometres before requiring any sort of maintenance.

• Heavy Duty Trucks: 3523R

For important supplies such as ventilators and MRIs, you need a more capable truck for them to make it to the necessary centres in time. For that, you have heavy duty trucks like the 3523R to thank for. These can haul up to 42 tonnes of cargo in one go. That go can also be completed with speeds reaching up to 80 Km/h. Impressed? So were the operators who purchased 553 of these in Punjab last year.

The 3523R does all this due to the impeccable design of its chassis. The rear suspension is made stronger with anti-roll bars along with a semi-elliptical leaf spring configuration, fit to take on heavy loads without letting go of the shock-absorbing capabilities. And it handles quite well, too. With hydraulic assisted power steering, this truck can beat other commercial vehicles of similar size in navigating through the most difficult turns and slopes with ease.

• Tipper Trucks: 2823C

What most people never imagine as being a crucial part of our economy are tipper trucks. These bad boys mean business, towing heavy loads of raw mineral ores and coal through a tough journey around a quarry, delivering it for processing, and keeping the drivers safe the whole time. The BharatBenz 2823C is the perfect example of that idea, with additional features for making the truck more efficient and comfortable.

The 2823C remains high in demand since it can store more than 35 tonnes of cargo in a massive 16 cubic metre box. With a powerful OM 926 engine putting out 850 Nm of torque, this tipper truck boasts a lot of low-end acceleration and high gradeability. This paired with a rugged chassis make the perfect recipe for conquering rough terrains. A huge syncromesh gearbox helps to get all that power to all the axles, with a hydraulic single-plate clutch for easier gear shifts.

• Heavy Haulage Trucks: 4023TT

From the models of BharatBenz trucks, the heavy haulage trucks stand out the most for their shear scale and capabilities. Although they do not see as much from a sale’s perspective, they fill in the shoes of an important transportation solution that comes into play when you need to transport cars and industrial-level equipment through regular roads. In such a demanding class, the 4023TT dominates with its balance of agility and capacity.

For a truck that can haul up to 55 tonnes, the 4023TT is surprisingly manoeuvrable. It has a turning radius of less than 13 metres, which is shorter than some luxury sedans, making it perfect for negotiating traffic along the roads of India. It also has a fuel tank with a capacity of 455 litres, letting it last thousands of kilometres before needing to stop for a refill. This not only means savings in fuel, but the faster transport with less chance of a breakdown can enable the operator offer their services on a competitive price.

The popularity of commercial vehicles is only projected as long as the vehicles remain well up to the job. In case of BharatBenz trucks, they have proven their worth both on paper and in the field. Various testimonials of business owners and drivers have praised them for their capabilities, and the commuters on the road are much happier with fewer trucks breaking down in the middle of the road, impeding traffic. A better standard for such vehicles means a fast-recovering economy and safer roads in general, both of which are the things India severely lacks in today.
