Just before India declared a lockdown in the wake of the Coronavirus pandemic, Daimler India Commercial Vehicles (DICV), Daimler’s commercial vehicle subsidiary in India completed a major order with the delivery of 120 BharatBenz trucks. The blue BharatBenz 4023T tractors were handed over to CJ Darcl Logistics Ltd. in Jamshedpur, in the north Indian state of Jharkhand.
CJ Darcl Logistics Ltd. is a joint venture between Korean group CJ and Indian logistics company Darcl. It is one of India’s leading end-to-end transport and logistics companies. The customer already owns 112 BharatBenz trucks.
The BharatBenz 4023T tractors are specifically built for the customer’s requirements, most obvious of which is the striking blue livery. Furthermore, all trucks are equipped with DICV’s connectivity feature Truckonnect, allowing fleet-managers to track and analyse their vehicles in real time. For additional driver safety the trucks are fitted with the innovative Driver State Monitoring System (DSMS), helping drivers to stay attentive with the use of AI and vision technology.
DICV produces and sells BharatBenz trucks and buses above 9 to 55 tons and has produced more than 100,000 BharatBenz vehicles since the market launch in 2012.
