Ashok Leyland to supply 700 cluster CNG buses to Delhi

15 Nov 2011 Evaluate

Ashok Leyland, the Hinduja Group flagship company will supply 700 cluster CNG buses to Delhi. Chief Minister of Delhi - Sheila Dikshit , flagged off 50 Ashok Leyland CNG buses (BS4) to ply in identified clusters in the city, at a function held in the capital attended by dignitaries including managing director of the company. This front-engine, semi-low floor buses form the initial lot of a total of 700 such buses to be supplied by the company in the coming months. The fully built buses are being manufactured at Ashok Leyland's Alwar plant in Rajasthan and delivery would be done in a phased manner.

Following the Delhi Government's decision to award the 17 identified clusters (650 bus routes) of the city to private operators under the DIMTS (Delhi Integrated Multi-modal Transit System), Ashok Leyland demonstrated the performance and cost benefits of the front engine, semi-low floor arrangement - a pioneering combination introduced by the company in 2006 in Mumbai.

This unique and successful technology, combined with a comprehensive bundle of service products helped Ashok Leyland win the contract from A B Grain, a professionally managed company, which has been awarded the contract to run semi low floor buses in clusters 3, 4 and 5 by the Government this year.
