Trucking About

No matter how cool the cen-tralised AC in your lavish cabin is, and no matter how conveniently you can take a private jet to the farthest of locations, your multi-million business is incomplete without the support system. And with logistics being a big part of most trades, we thought of taking a look at what drives them, literally: the trucks. Starting with the most basic, but hugely promising (hence the ‘Pro’ monicker; anyone?), the Eicher Pro 1049.

Positioned in the sub-five-tonne category, far from the tippers and tractor trollies, this one targets the same set of buyers who would otherwise invest in a pickup. While doing so, the Eicher 1049 Pro manages to offer more space, better payload capacity (2.7 tonnes), and big-truck styling. In fact, if you get one of these you can even hang out with big boys at the nearest dhaba. Do that driving a pickup and 10/10 you’ll find yourself sitting in a lonely corner of the eatery, munching on butter-less parathas and sugarless tea, and with no company other than your ‘khallasi’. Where’s the fun in that?
