important means to transport for goods and services across the nation,
including the remote areas and the satellite towns of the cities. This in turn
makes the sector of manufacturing of trucks to spread its wing and grow
further.

market of the truck manufacturing, and their manufacturing units produces
verities of trucks and lorries for various purposes. It is to be noted here
that for type of truck depends directly to the type of products or goods which
