Daimler India Commercial Vehicles (DICV) has introduced the BharatBenz BB1924, a new heavy-duty bus chassis specifically engineered for India's expanding intercity passenger transport sector. This upgraded model, with a Gross Vehicle Weight of 19.5 tonnes, is designed to meet the escalating demand for greater payload capacity and enhanced passenger comfort, thereby reducing operating costs for bus operators.

Field trials conducted across major routes such as Mumbai-Pune and Delhi-Jaipur have indicated a significant reduction in the total cost of ownership compared to current solutions. The enhanced capacity, an increase from 18.5 to 19.5 tonnes, allows for an additional tonne of parcel load, potentially boosting operator revenue from both passenger services and logistics.
