New truck launched

Jasper Industries Private Limited on Thursday released the new Tata Motors’ 12-tyre LPT 3118 TC, said to be the country’s first 8X2 multi axle truck with lift axle. It is fitted with automatic load sensing value for optimum lift axle function.

Satyanarayana Rao and others were present.
