Unveils Starz sleeper coach on B11R multi-axle chassis.
The journey of MG Group is a truly inspiring one. Having started off as a bus body builder like most others in the field, the company, driven by sheer passion and far-sighted vision, has metamorphosed into the most-sought after partner for all the OEMs in the country, be it homegrown ones or the big brands in the global arena. The latest trophy, if one may call it, in MG’s cabinet is its partnership with Volvo Buses, the brand that practically created the premium bus segment in the country.
MG Group hosted a meet in Bangalore, Volvo’s hometown in India, to unveil the dashing new Starz sleeper coach built on Volvo’s B11R multi-axle chassis. We caught up with Mr. Anil Kamat, Managing Director, MG Group, to find out more about the new partnership, the striking new sleeper coach and what’s in store next for his company with boundless aspirations.
Excerpts:
MG Group has emerged as the most-sought-after independent bus body building partner in the country. Adding to your partnership with three other global OEMs over the last four years, how important is this project with Volvo Buses for MG?
MG Group is fortunate to be the preferred body builder for leading vehicle manufacturers present in India and has earned their trust and confidence over the years, primarily driven by our Design and Engineering strength, professional approach and adherence to commitments. We continue to service their business requirements for both the domestic and export markets.
