The long haulage trucking industry is expanding in India due to the demand for transportation of high-value cargo like industrial equipment and hi-tech electronics purchased by manufacturing companies. Therefore, numerous commercial vehicle (CV) brands are introducing trucks which are efficient, reliable and powerful to deliver high-value cargo in a shorter trip time. Two such popular commercial vehicle makers in India that are contributing to the success of the long haulage industry are BharatBenz and Tata Motors. 

BharatBenz and Tata Motors have been leading in the CV segment for quite some time now.
