New Delhi:
India's second largest truck maker Ashok Leyland has earned order worth Rs 120 crore from logistics firm Rivigo, for a supply of 500 fully built vehicles equipped with iEGR (Intelligent Exhaust Gas Re-circulation) technology.
The iEGR techonolgy that was launched in April 2017, was indigenously developed by Ashok Leyland to achieve the BS-IV emission norms.
"Today, our BS-IV iEGR vehicles are giving up to 10 per cent better fuel economy when compared to our BS-III range. This is helping all our customers to improve their total cost of operations by up to 15 per cent, translating to improved profits", Anuj Kathuria, President - Global Trucks, Ashok Leyland said.

For us it means better uptime, hassle-free operations, better mileage and improved cost of ownership”, said Deepak Garg, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Rivigo.
