VE Commercial Vehicles (VECV), a joint-venture between Volvo Group and Eicher Motors, has introduced the Pro Series, a new range of trucks and buses developed specifically for India and other selected growth markets.
Pro Series includes 11 new trucks and buses and covers the entire 5 to 49 ton gross vehicle weight (GVW) range.
The new vehicle range also contains models that will be equipped with engines adapted from Volvo Group technology with output up to 280hp.
VECV has upgraded and modernized its industrial facilities to produce this new range. The investments include new assembly lines, a cab factory and cab painting workshop and an engine factory.
VECV will start production of the Eicher Pro Series in February 2014.
Volvo Group CEO and president Olof Persson said that the Eicher brand is an integral part of the Volvo Group's strategy to expand in Asia and other growth markets.
"With the launch of the Eicher Pro Series, our already strong joint-venture enters a new chapter," Persson added.
