Discover the Ashok Leyland MiTR: The Ideal School Bus for Kids

Quick Info: 

• - The Ashok Leyland MiTR School Bus comes powered by a 2953 cc, ZD 30 DDTi Common Rail Diesel Engine.
• - The MiTR School Bus comes equipped with a robust and highly efficient braking system. 
• - The vehicle is factory fitted with A/C (optional) and is available in 7 m and 8 m wheelbase configurations. 

The substantial vehicular efficiency brought about by the integration of high-performance powertrains into school bus models which come at an affordable price along with safety, by brands such as Ashok Leyland, has been a game changer for logistical businesses and associated schools which utilise them. 

Precisely speaking, the integration of powertrains such as the ZD 30 DDTi Common Rail Diesel Engine and multiple safety features into school bus models such as the MiTR for example, which comes with a decent price tag of Rs. 22.50 Lakh (ex-showroom), has allowed the schooling sector improve safety standards and profit outcomes necessary for growth. 

Moreover, without the powertrain, superior build quality and safety feature integrations, the schooling sector would not have been able to improve, in terms of facilitating a safer platform for the transportation of children from their homes to school and vice versa- a factor that cannot be missed or ignored at any cost. 

Nevertheless, it is because of brands like Ashok Leyland and their bus models like the MiTR which have been carefully built considering safety features and rigid construction requirements, which have resulted in business growth and better safety rules and norms.
