Описание: BharatBenz Strengthens Construction Segment with All-New Construction and Mining Range to Power India's Infrastructure Boom

Chennai, India: India's mining and construction equipment sector is poised for significant growth, projected to expand from $16 billion to $45 billion by 2030*. To support this surge, Daimler India Commercial Vehicles (DICV), a wholly owned subsidiary of Daimler Truck AG, today launched the all-new BharatBenz Construction and Mining range comprising of their HX and Torqshift series models. This heavy-duty truck series directly addresses

The HX and Torqshift launch follows extensive real-world validation, with more than 150 trucks deployed in customer trials across India's most demanding construction and mining sites. These trials demonstrated significant improvements in uptime, operational efficiency, and profitability, leading directly to full-scale production.

Satyakam Arya, Managing Director and CEO, Daimler India Commercial Vehicles, said, "India's construction and mining sector continues to be one of our strongest business pillars, powering the next phase of national development. We're seeing a decisive shift as large contractors invest in owned assets for better control and long-term returns. Many fleets are 8-10 years old and reaching the end-of-life, creating a major replacement cycle. Our extensive customer trials with 150+ trucks have validated the real-world performance and profitability impact these vehicles deliver.”

Heavy-Duty Construction Vehicles: The HX series, comprising the 2828C HX and 3532C HX models, are engineered for extreme durability, class leading productivity, unmatched fuel efficiency, and best in class drivability. Offered in two powerful configurations—280 hp with 1100 Nm torque and 320 hp with 1250 Nm torque—the trucks come equipped with additional features such as Hill Hold Assist, unitized front axle bearings, wind deflector, and advanced driver state monitoring systems, delivering long-lasting performance under the most demanding conditions.
Specialised Mining Applications: The Torqshift series (2832CM and 3532CM variants) offers globally proven AMT that delivers zero lag performance, unmatched comfort, faster TAT and enhanced fuel efficiency for demanding mining applications.
Ready Mix Concrete (RMC) Solutions: The 2828C RMC variant with 9 cubic meter capacity features the powerful OM 926 BSVI OBD-II engine generating 280hp and 1100Nm torque for reliable concrete transportation across challenging terrains.
