We are delighted to unveil the ecomet Star 1915 truck with GVW of 18.49T, equipped with the proven 110 kW (150 hp) H4 engine, ideally suited for long-distance applications. The new ecomet Star 1915 truck assures remarkable fuel efficiency, faster Turnaround Time (TAT), extended tire durability, longer service intervals, and a reduction in overall maintenance expenses.”

However, as the industry anticipates a growing need for higher payload capacity across various applications, the ecomet Star 1915 is positioned to address the logistical demands of Ashok Leyland’s customers in applications like e-commerce, parcel delivery, transportation of fresh produce, auto parts, FMCG, and more.
