Ashok Leyland, the Hinduja Group flagship company in India, is reportedly aiming to achieve at least 20% market share for its new Intermediate Commercial Vehicle (ICV) Boss, which was recently launched in Coimbatore region. The company has 75% market share in 16-tonner trucks and 20% in Ecomet segment. It is expecting to achieve the same level of market share for Boss, which is available in two variants -the LE and LX.
The BOSS LE is fitted with a 120 HP H-series BS3 engine with an in-line fuel injection pump – an industry first – and a 6-speed overdrive gearbox that delivers superior mileage. The BOSS LX has another industry-first – an Automated Manual Transmission - that eliminates the need for clutch operation and gear-shifting.
