SWARAJ BAGGONKAR

Daimler India Commercial Vehicles (DICV), the whollyowned arm of Daimler Truck AG, which sells medium and heavy trucks and buses under the brand Bharat Benz, said it will launch the next-generation eCanter in India in the next 6-12 months.

The vehicle will be brought to India from Japan in the form of kits and later assembled at the Chennai-based facility of DICV. Japan is the only manufacturing base for the eCanter whereas Europe serves as an assembly location.

The launch will also pave the way for Bharat Benz's foray into the 3.5 to 7.5 tonne truck segment. The brand was absent from this segment, which is dominated by Tata Motors and Ashok Leyland.
