Leading truck and bus maker Ashok Leyland has introduced a 3-axle 6x2 dual tyre lift axle (DTLA) truck range - AVTR 3120.

The new truck will operate at 31 tonne category with the lift axle down (and take more load than conventional 6x2 trucks) and at 18.5 tonne with the lift axle up (lower fuel and operating cost similar to 4x2) during light load/partial load/return empty. It will be available in cowl and 3 cabin options —N Cab, U cab, M cab.
