Ashok Leyland, India’s leading commercial vehicle manufacturer, had added new products to its BADA DOST range. The new additions are – BADA DOST i1 and BADA DOST i2. In addition to this, Ashok Leyland also launched a BADA DOST Limited Edition, which comes with industry-first features in a commercial vehicle.
Mr Dheeraj Hinduja, Executive Chairman of Ashok Leyland, said that the launch of the new BADA DOST i1 and i2 marks a special day for the company. This is because it is also the second anniversary of the BADA DOST. He further added that the company is excited to expand its BADA DOST range with the latest i1 and i2.
The BADA DOST i1 offers a payload capacity of 1,250 kg. On the other hand, the bigger BADA DOST i2 offers 1,425 kg of payload capacity. They are designed to offer the widest deck of 1,750mm width and longest deck of 2,596 mm (8.5 ft) for i1 & 2,745 mm (9 ft) for i2, which is the highest in the category. In addition to this, both offer superior power, mileage, payload, load body length and loading space. Thus, increasing the customers’ profit per trip. They also feature the lowest turning circle radius in their categories – 10.6-metre for the i1 and 11.3-metre for the i2.
On the inside, both of them come with an ARAI-certified 3-seater walkthrough cabin. The category-best cabin width also ensures superior comfort for the driver. Meanwhile, customers can also convert the wide seat into a bed to rest between trips. Other interior highlights include a dual-tone dashboard, digital instrument cluster, dash-mounted gear shift lever and air-conditioning. Ashok Leyland says AC allows customers to drive additional distances without any fatigue, even during peak summers.
The company also launched a Limited Edition of the LCV. The BADA DOST Limited Edition comes with industry-first features. Ashok Leyland claims it is the first CV to feature central locking, keyless entry as well as an anti-theft feature. These are features generally available in passenger vehicles. With the BADA DOST Limited Edition, the company focused on providing features to maximise drivers’ comfort and enhance the customer experience.
