Ashok Leyland has announced the launch of TWIN FUEL
variants of its popular Light Commercial Vehicles (LCVs) – DOST and DOST+ XL. The
newly launched TWIN FUEL models are equipped with advanced technology that
allows seamless switching between Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and petrol,
offering customers unmatched flexibility and peace of mind.
The TWIN FUEL technology addresses one of the most
pressing concerns for CNG vehicle users – range anxiety and the fear of not
finding a CNG pump along their route. With the dual-fuel capability, customers
can seamlessly switch between CNG and Petrol, ensuring uninterrupted journeys
and the freedom to travel longer distances without compromise.
The TWIN FUEL DOST distinguishes itself with a
benchmark payload capacity of 1,218 kg, an extended driving range of 400 km,
supported by a large CNG tank of 120 litres and an additional petrol tank of 05
litres for emergencies. The TWIN FUEL DOST+ XL offers a segment-defining
payload of 1,410 kg, enhanced CNG capacity of 148 litres, and an additional
petrol capacity of 05 litres, delivering a superior range of 500 km resulting
in more business opportunities and greater earnings.
Priced competitively, the TWIN FUEL DOST starts at INR
8.20-lakh (ex-showroom) while the TWIN FUEL DOST + XL starts at INR 8.75-lakh
(ex-showroom).
