AMW Motors Ltd. (AMW) announced expansion of its high-performance transit mixer range with the introduction of all new 3118 TM. 
The newly-launched vehicle comes with a maximum capacity of 10 cu. mtrs on a 8X4 drive line configuration and is powered by the most reliable and fuel-efficient 180 hp engine. It is fitted with the world-renowned 9-speed gear box with crawler gear for best-in-class gradability of 28 per cent and heavy duty axles. It has a special CED coating to avoid corrosion from harsh operating environments, and the chassis is made of heavy duty frame with 7+7 mm double flitch.
The new product is fitted with AMW’s proven bogie suspension for carrying heavier loads in any type of road conditions and reduced maintenance cost to provide best-in-class cabin comfort. AMW is the only manufacturer to offer AC and sleeper berth as standard in transit mixers. The visibility is excellent for easy driving in urban areas.
AMW has entered into a strategic tie-up with all leading manufacturers of transit mixer drums. The transit mixer displayed had a separate slave engine which acts as a failsafe in case of main engine failure while transporting concrete to prevent expensive drum repairs.

Addressing this growth, we have expanded our transit mixer range with the introduction of the all-new 3118 TM.
