Tata Motors on Monday said it is expecting the Commercial vehicles industry to perform well this fiscal after two years of downturn, with an upturn in demand across all segments.
Moreover, consumption is also witnessing continuous growth leading to good demand conditions, Tata Motors executive director, Girish Wagh said at the launch of a range of trucks here.
Along with the launch of the country's first CNG-powered Medium and Heavy Commercial Vehicle (M&HCV) range of trucks, the company also rolled out a new series of advanced intermediate and light commercial vehicle (I&LCV) tippers and trucks.
Besides, it also introduced Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) and new features in its range of Prima, Signa and Ultra trucks.
After two years of downturn in the commercial vehicle industry, the previous fiscal logged 22 per cent volume growth over FY21, said Wagh.
"The CV industry seems to be on an upside now. Various indicators such as fleet utilisation or freight rates or even the transporters confidence index that we track every quarter, seem to be doing pretty well," he said. He noted that the government's push for infrastructure is creating good demand for tipper trucks.
The bus segment, which saw a low (in terms of volumes) FY20 and FY21, saw good demand coming in from the school segment towards the end of the second quarter of the previous fiscal and also a good beginning in the employee transport segment.
