SML Isuzu drives into South India with global model of lorry

Automobile major SML Isuzu Friday entered the South Indian market with a goods transporter of the global series, capitalizing on the changing demands of the Indian lorry industry.

The general manager of the company Naval Kumar Sharma told reporters here that the model would be made entirely in India, keeping with its Prime Minister Narendra Modi's call for 'Make in India'.

"We are using the most advanced robotic techniques. The technology, design, and shape are the latest, including the design of the cabin of the lorry," said Sharma.

Also, the company launched 'SML Saarathi', the advanced telematics solutions, aimed at revolutionizing the transport management and on-road service support.

"It (SML Saarathi) is a connected device which will help the driver and owner through a programme and SOS button. Also, it has a mechanism for the round-the-clock real-time vehicle-tracking system," he said.

The global series model, which is also available in CNG, comes in different models like Samrat HD19, Sartaz, Super, Tipper Supreme, Prestige and Sartaz HG72.
