Ashok Leyland bags Rs 120-crore order from Rivigo for supply of 500 fully built vehicles

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.
