Asia MotorWorks (AMW) was all over the show at Excon 2009 held recently at Bengaluru. Apart from its own participation, AMW trucks were on display in 12 other pavilions, including Putzmeister, Maxmech, Apollo, HIAB and Schwing Stetter. This clearly demonstrated the growing preference of AMW trucks among major contruction and mining equipment manufacturers, according to Mr. R.C. Mangal, Vice President, AsiaMotors Works India Ltd.
AMW had on display at Excon a range of commercial vehicles for the construction and mining sectors. This included fully-built tippers and transit mixers, and a chassis for concrete pump application that is a unique introduction. Also on display was a 49-tonne tip trailer that promises to redefine standards of productivity and performance in mining applications.
Mr. Mangal says: “AMW trucks offer a unique combination of technology and integration. They support numerous applications and can be further customized to suit more specialized needs. Robust and powerful, they are specifically designed for Indian conditions. With low maintenance and even lower downtime, they deliver great value and increased profitability”.

The 2518 tipper, which is ideal for the irrigation, road construction and other infrastructure segment, comes with 180 hp engine and with a fully-built cabin. The 2523 tippers are ideally suited for the construction segment and for movement of excavated earth at large construction sites and of sand/rock from the quarry to the sites. The 2523 also plays a pivotal role in the mining segment for transporting overburden, coal, iron ore, marble, etc. With features that include AC cabin, superior gearbox and chassis-in chassis, the 2523 comes with two body options – 16 m3 standard body and a 14 m3 rock body.
