The company is now looking at a compressed natural gas
(CNG) version of the vehicle which is in line with its plans
to bring out a variant once every six months. Also on cards
is a passenger variant of the DOST.
Dr. V. Sumantran, Executive
Vice-Chairman of Hinduja Auto-
motive, and Chairman of Nissan
Ashok Leyland Powertrain, said that
the LCV has evoked good response
with a 22 per cent of the LCV mar-
ket share in Maharashtra, Gujarat
and the four southern States where
it was launched. Rajasthan is the
next targeted market for the vehicle
which has taken the overall Ashok
Leyland LCV market share to 10 per
cent at the national level.
Ashok Leyland also offers ready-
to-use vehicles (RUVs) on the
DOST platform for various appli-
cations such as ambulance, refrig-
erated containers, steel containers,
aluminium fixed side decks and
service-at-site vehicles.
