BharatBenz premiere (cover story)
BharatBenz also has tied up with three leading In-
dian banks – HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank and Sundaram
Finance – which will offer tailored financing to its cus-
tomers.
The company is also focused on driver training which
is an inevitable aspect considering the Indian scenario.
It plans to set up regional driver training centres across
the country to improve the standard of the people who
spend maximum time with the trucks.
“Drivers are the backbone of the nation. Without them
delivery of goods is not possible. But good drivers are
fewer in number. We will have regional offices with
driver training centres where extensive training will be
given”, said Mr. Llistosella.
The Indian truck segment has witnessed the entry of
global giants in recent years. However, DICV’s prime
target is not to capture market share but to become the
first choice of customers, and is positive that its compre-
hensive package for the Indian market would definitely
provide customers with a whole new trucking experi-
ence through the BharatBenz revolution.
