BSafe Express’ For Fast and Safe Transportation of COVID-19 Vaccines
In line with the Government’s on-going efforts to ensure seamless vaccine distribution, BharatBenz offers the ‘BSafe Express’ for the fight against COVID-19. BSafe Express is a range of 10t to 42t, fully built reefer trucks, custom built for pharma and vaccine logistics. The currently showcased solution is built on the sturdy 2823R platform known for its reliability, quick turn-around time and low maintenance. The reefer unit is built with best-inclass thermal insulation for outstanding resistance to water and external temperatures. It also contains a Smart Connectivity System that ensures complete traceability of temperature and other sensor data from shipment to last mile delivery. With this host of advanced features, ‘BSafe Express’ has emerged as a state-of-the-art solution capable of delivering vaccines in perfect condition to even remote destinations.

BharatBenz New Commercial Vehicles Expand Growth Segments
BharatBenz Trucks: The 1917R is available in 20, 22, 24, and 31-foot load span options, which are ideal for a wide range of on-highway applications and great for freight movement for sectors like FMCG and e-commerce.

The 4228R features an innovative M cab, granting it one of the longest loading spans for fully built trucks in its class. The M Cab retains all the safety and comfort features of BharatBenz’s proven factory fitted cabin. Making an additional room for the load span to grow, this allows overall loading span of 31 ft, suitable for parcel and container applications.

Additionally, a special variant of 4228R with a fully-built 34-kiloliter tanker has been designed with a wide range of safety features, making the vehicle a preferred choice for POL applications. The 1015R+ stands as a classic example of BharatBenz’s technological prowess. The earlier 1015R has received an upgrade in its powertrain with a stronger G85 gearbox that strengthens its reliability and gradeability.

Meanwhile, BharatBenz’s iconic 2828C is now available with 22 cubic meter loading capacity refreshed with Covid-protection features to cater to coal transportation. It comes with the longest wheelbase in its class, making it the most stable coal carrier in the market.

BharatBenz Buses: To address the concerns of the public regarding social distancing during travel, BharatBenz is offering an all-new 1017 bus with a 50 seating capacity that is ideal for staff, school, and college. The additional capacity allows customers to maintain social distancing and delivers a secured bus journey experience.

The next new category is the 1624 chassis that comes with a parabolic suspension, a high demand product from the mofussil bus customers, and also popular for staff and short intercity applications. BharatBenz bridges the demand gap by introducing air suspension and parabolic suspension offerings in the intercity segment.
