Ashok Leyland has bagged order worth $7.6 million for 100 Falcon Buses. The company has supplied these 100 buses to Ghana which were inducted in the fleet of Metro Mass Transit, a transport company, in which the Government of Ghana has 45% stake, for both inter and intra-city applications on 360 routes throughout that country. This is second such major launch by Ashok Leyland in Ghana after the induction of 160 waste management trucks last year.

All theses 100 buses were specially customized into 57-seater, left hand drive buses to meet specific customer requirements. Beside, the company also becomes the first commercial manufacturer to introduce a mechanical inline fuel injection with a Euro 3 engine and electronic destination board in Ghana. The buses were handled over to Vice President of the Republic of Ghana by the company, at a recently held function.

Ashok Leyland is the flagship of the Hinduja Group and a leading manufacturer of commercial vehicles in India.
