In the course of our JK Tyre Happiness truck campaign across North India, we had a small pit-stop at the Mohan Transport Co. (MTC) located at Bilaspur, Himachal Pradesh. This gave us an opportunity to not only see the operations of the company for our own selves but we also got to interact with Nand Prakash Vohra, its founder. Above all, we got a sense of how JK Tyre forges strong and long-lasting partnerships with its customers. Mohan Transport Co. was set up in 1978 and has, over the years, grown to be one of the most sought after and respected fleet operators not only in Bilaspur but also in the country. It has crafted success on the back of its efficient and highly dependable services to most of the cement companies in India.
Elaborating about the company’s journey so far, Vohra said: “We have close to 500 trucks, almost all of which have been sourced from Tata Motors. We are into inbound transportation of fly ash to all the major cement companies and work with leading manufacturers such as ACC, Emami, Dalmia, Ambuja, OCL, Star Cement, etc. It is our expertise in transportation of bulk goods that has helped us create long-term relationships with these companies.” MTC transports around 9-10 thousand metric tons of bulk every month. Its fleet comprises mainly V-shaped bulkers in the tonnage capacity of 31, 37 and 49 tons and its major operation covers the States of Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka, Odisha, West Bengal, Guwahatiand Assam.
