MAN flags off pan-India drive for greater visibility for haulage vehicles

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 kms 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, “...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 & transportation business. With an MAN, customers can further enhance their efficiencies and profitability.”
