The 3118 is ideally suited for transporting steel, oil and cement and is also intended for port applications and general market load. It fulfils the critical requirement of a high performance, robust vehicle suitable for on-road applications. It has been specially designed to offer the maximum cost per tonne performance combined with convenience, safety and comfort features that are the best in class in the industry.
AMW’s 3118 haulage truck is fitted with a Cummins 180BHP diesel engine that delivers increased power and a flat torque curve on a larger band of rpm for excellent fuel efficiency. The gear shift comes with closely packed gear ratios leading to longer life of transmission and reduced maintenance costs, besides the advantage of gradeability. The bogie suspension ensures increased suspension life, superior drive comfort for enhanced driver productivity and increased tyre life.
The vehicle offers an optimum payload that translates into better economies of scale and higher profitability. The robust chassis construction is ideally suited for the tough Indian road conditions, and the suspended cab design makes it easy to access the entire drive line.
The trend-setting ready-to-use air-conditioned cabin, aimed to enhance driver productivity, is available with the 3118 that comes with crash-proof cabins contributing to safe and efficient driving.
