“VECV’s Eicher Trucks and Buses Division continues to
grow even when the industry at large has slowed down
due to the tough economic environment. In Q2 2012,
ETB has registered a volume growth of 8.8% to outpace
the industry that has dropped by 11.3%. This surge is
attributed to our focused strategy of driving growth and
improved market share in the heavy duty and bus seg-
ments that has particularly done well for ETB in this
quarter.”
