5 Key Things To Keep In Mind When Buying A Mini-Truck in India

The commercial vehicle industry plays a pivotal role in India’s overall economic growth. Surface transportation is the key to moving cargo, including raw materials to the industries and finished goods to the consumers, across India’s length and breadth. Goods Carriers, large and small, play an essential role in the supply chain and logistics delivery ecosystem.  

One top segment that has become integral to the transportation industry is last-mile delivery. Here, the entry-level Light Commercial Vehicle with a sub-1-tonne payload has become vital in reaching the consumer's doorsteps efficiently and productively. 

So, as a customer, if you’re looking to start your logistics/transport business, what are the top things to keep in mind when choosing the best mini truck in the category? We explore to tell you everything that you need to know.

Affordable and Reliable

A mini-truck is your business, and to serve your customer better you need a truck that is not just affordable but also highly reliable. Taking into account the demanding nature of the last-mile cargo delivery business, zero breakdown and top performance across different operating terrain, road conditions, and cargo load is an absolute must. Thus, you simply can’t ignore the affordability and reliability of a mini-truck. 

High On Mileage

There isn’t anything more important for a truck owner than superior mileage. Fuel efficiency is a key factor that determines the buying decision of a truck as fuel cost is at the core of the transport business. The soaring fuel prices are escalating the operating cost of trucks, thus declining the profitability of truck operators. So, a fuel-efficient truck with any mileage gains directly ensures higher income.

Versatile and Powerful 

The nature of the last-mile delivery business is such that it is highly unpredictable, which means you would get delivery trips for all types of applications. These include fruits and vegetables, FMCG, furniture and white goods, items from fast-growing e-commerce portals, parcels and couriers, sundry goods, etc. A powerful truck makes sure you climb city flyovers and other inclines with ease and reach your desired destination on time with a full cargo load.

Comfort and Safety

Most of the mini-trucks buyers are owner-drivers, and so, these entrepreneurs want a truck that is comfortable and safe even if they have to pay a slight premium. Further, like passenger cars, safety is another big area that is becoming equally key for even truck buyers, and a truck with top safety features would certainly have an advantage. 

Low Maintenance & Higher Earning

Last, but certainly not least, is the money you spend on operating/maintaining the truck beyond what the fuel takes. Here, the overall lifetime maintenance is critical. The less a truck visits the workshop, the more it stays on the road, not interrupting your daily business goals. And you spend less on the truck, thus directly upping your earnings from your cargo goods carrier business.

Maruti Suzuki Super Carry proves itself to be a mini-truck that fits well in the above characteristics.
