At the 2016 Auto Expo that concluded last week, home-grown truck maker Ashok Leyland unveiled India's first Euro 6 compliant truck - the all-new 4940 Euro 6 long-haulage truck. At the time when the whole CV segment bears the blame of being 'dirty diesels' leading to increasing air pollution, our domestic CV maker has presented a truck that is compliant to strict emission norms that demand a dramatic reduction in NOx and particulate matter levels as low as one-tenth of the existing BS 3 levels.


Ashok Leyland says that the new 4940 Euro 6 is powered by an all-new 8-litre 6-cylinder 'Neptune' series diesel engine specifically designed to meet the stringent Euro 6 norms. With a common rail direct injection system, this motor delivers 400 HP with 1600 Nm of torque at peak demand. It is paired to a 16-speed manual gearbox with range change and splitter, aided with a 430 mm diameter, Diaphragm-type clutch.

Safety wise, the Euro 6 truck is equipped with electronic braking system and electronic stability control. The truck with 6x2 axle configuration has a GVW of 49 tonnes.
