The company has come up with a
new solution to avoid frequent
bulb change and maintenance of
rear combination lamps fitted in
most Indian trucks. It will always
glow and assist the drivers fol-
lowing these trucks and will avoid
any possible collision. The added
advantage is that the cost of own-
ership over lifetime is lower than
that of bulb-based lamps since it
ensures up to 80 per cent lower
power consumption and is mainte-
nance-free.
