DOST, marked the company’s entry into the robustly growing LCV market in joint venture with Nissan Motor Company. With a payload capacity of 1.25T, DOST enters the Small Commercial Vehicle (SCV) market (below 3.5T) which is witnessing a perceptible upward shift in terms of features, performance and payload. It will be available in three versions with the top-end version featuring air-conditioning, power steering, dual-colour beige-gray trim and fabric seats. It is equipped with a state-of-the-art 55 hp, 3 cylinders 1.5 litre common rail TDCR engine that is tuned for fuel economy as well as the drive-ability and grade-ability, required for Indian roads thanks to substantial torque of 150Nm.

Ashok Leyland will offer Ready-to-Use Vehicles (RUVs) on the DOST platform for various applications such as refrigerated containers, steel containers, ambulance, aluminum fixed side decks and service-at-site vehicles. Dost is well suited for both intercity and intra-city goods transportation, it offers higher productivity at an extremely competitive cost of ownership.

DOST is being sold through a modern dealership network with brand new infrastructure which, with the launch of these 4 dealerships in Rajasthan, touches 32. Besides, two more new dealerships are planned at Jodhpur and Bikaner in next 3 to 4 months.
