Daimler India aims to beat record as commercial vehicle sales rev up

Company will expand its dealer network, launch new models and it is working on alternative fuel options: CEO.

Daimler Trucks' India subsidiary this calendar year aims to beat peak sales of 2018 as the commercial vehicle (CV) market recovers after a challenging three years, said a top company executive.

The launch of new models in the heavy-duty segment and aggressive expansion would fuel growth, said Satyakam Arya, managing director and CEO at Daimler India Commercial Vehicles (DICV) told 'Business Standard'. “The CV market has a very strong recovery cycle ahead after three very challenging years. We will cross the 2018 number, which was the peak. Our aspiration is to go beyond that even if the market doesn’t,” said
