BharatBenz introduces all-new Construction and Mining range
India's mining and construction equipment sector is poised for significant growth, projected to expand from $16 billion to $45 billion by 2030*. To support this surge, Daimler India Commercial Vehicles (DICV), a wholly owned subsidiary of Daimler Truck AG, launched the all-new BharatBenz Construction and Mining range comprising of their HX and Torqshift series models. This heavy-duty truck series directly addresses the critical need for reliable, high-performance vehicles as large contractors increasingly invest in owned assets and modernize their aging fleets.
The HX and Torqshift launch follows extensive real-world validation, with more than 150 trucks deployed in customer trials across India's most demanding construction and mining sites. These trials demonstrated significant improvements in uptime, operational efficiency, and profitability, leading directly to full-scale production.
Satyakam Arya, Managing Director and CEO, Daimler India Commercial Vehicles, said, "India's construction and mining sector continues to be one of our strongest business pillars, powering the next phase of national development. We're seeing a decisive shift as large contractors invest in owned assets for better control and long-term returns. Many fleets are 8-10 years old and reaching the end-of-life, creating a major replacement cycle. Our extensive customer trials with 150+ trucks have validated the real-world performance and profitability impact these vehicles deliver.”
The expanded portfolio is available across the 385 BharatBenz dealer touchpoints throughout India, supported by comprehensive service infrastructure and attractive 15,000 hours annual maintenance contracts to enhance operational reliability. Our advanced uptime center hub integrates cutting-edge diagnostic technology with specialized technical expertise to deliver predictive maintenance solutions. By leveraging data analytics and real-time vehicle monitoring, the center enables fleet operators to maintain optimal vehicle performance while reducing unexpected service interruptions.
BharatBenz has established itself as a trusted partner in India's construction and mining sectors, with vehicles contributing to major infrastructure projects nationwide. As India accelerates its infrastructure development, the company remains committed to supporting this growth through innovative solutions that maintain the highest standards of safety, quality, and reliability.
