It helped VECV from the manufacture of EuroVI engines for the last eight years at VEPT, a joint venture between Volvo and Eicher at Pithampur. VECV is also a manufacturing hub for a UD light-duty truck model in India. The new Eicher Pro 2049 is expected to be exported as a UD light-duty truck to the Far East Asian markets very soon with EuroVI technology to boot. With the new bus entity under its wings, VECV, as a CV major with a modern truck portfolio of between 4.9-tonnes and 55-tonnes, and a modern bus portfolio of over 150 models, stands to gain a good deal, in terms of synergies as well as an ability to flex its muscles in the tough domestic market as well as new export markets. Getting better at exploring Volvo's reach in new export markets, VECV with the all-new bus entity under its wings, looks better poised to beat the cyclicity of its home market.
