BharatBenz Heavy-Duty Tipper Portfolio explored

BharatBenz’s India truck portfolio has some of the Industry’s high powered and premium tippers that are capable of taking on all kinds of challenging mining, construction and infrastructure projects needs. But can they challenge the established market leaders? We find out.

Heavy-duty tipper is one category of the domestic truck market that has been a breather for Indian truck makers in otherwise massively declining markets. Tippers have been registering steady growth in otherwise choppy truck sales as haulage trucks demand is often tied to the overall economic activities. However, the government's focus on infrastructure building, the fast-expanding high building and higher mining across key states mean sustained demand for heavy tippers. The HCV tippers range between 19-42T GVW that caters to all the key applications. 

Like the rest of the truck market, Tata Motors and Ashok Leyland are the two dominating players in the HCV tipper segment with a wide portfolio. In this relatively stable volume, BharatBenz is also eyeing a share of this segment by taking on fierce rivals. The company has a strong and diversified tipper portfolio that covers all customers needs across key applications. These latest generation and advanced tippers have designed and developed for Indian operating conditions and duty-cycles that are equipped with world-class technology, powerful engines and aggregates. 

Besides the best tippers, BharatBenz is also offering these HCV tippers along with full support to the customers to help them run them around the clock operations to execute larger projects on time by running an efficient fleet with on-site support and availability parts always. As a result of such a holistic approach, BharatBenz tippers are a common site across key construction and infrastructure projects and gained reasonable market share in key categories challenging the established players. 

The company has a long way to go before truly gaining critical mass in the HCV tippers, yet it has made strong headway in the highly competitive segment of the industry with its reliable and durable tipper portfolio. If you’re someone looking for an HCV tipper or multiple tippers to expand your fleet, we’re here to help you with the BharatBenz tipper portfolio that you can explore before buying them.
