Ashok Leyland, the Hinduja Group flagship company in India, has launched the Neptune engine ushering in a new era in engine technology. Designed and developed in-house from a clean sheet, the NEPTUNE family of engines has been globally benchmarked for greater fuel efficiency, lower maintenance, longer life, greater reliability and superior NVH (Noise, Vibration and Harshness) characteristics.
The future-ready ‘Neptune’ engine will be available in BS-III and BS-IV versions and is also package protected for BS-V and BS-VI. The highly modular sub-system design ensures maximum vehicle uptime and better NVH characteristics while the CRS with electronic-governance ensures high fuel efficiency, easy serviceability, lower life cycle cost and reliability. Neptune engines will range from 160 HP to 380 HP and will be deployed across a range of trucks and buses in a phased manner.
The company’s new truck, the first offering powered by the Neptune engine, launched at Sankagiri, Tamil Nadu, has been named ‘SANKAGIRI EXPRESS 3120’ as a tribute to the strong bonds that have been forged and nurtured over time between the lorry operators in the region and the company.
