Cargo 9016

The Ashok Leyland Cargo 9016, a flagship offering from Ashok Leyland, is a heavy-duty truck engineered for robust performance and reliability, catering to demanding commercial transport needs across urban and rural landscapes. Powered by the HA6ETI3KN 6-cylinder, turbocharged, and intercooled inline diesel engine, it delivers a formidable 118 kW (158 hp) at 2400 RPM and a peak torque of 550 Nm between 1400-1700 RPM, ensuring excellent pulling power for heavy loads and challenging inclines. With a 5759cc displacement and Euro III emission compliance, this truck balances power with environmental standards, making it suitable for cargo haulage, construction, and logistics in regions like Zambia and beyond, as distributed by partners like ETG Logistics. Its fully synchronized 6-speed ZF S6-36 gearbox with overdrive enhances fuel efficiency and smooth operation, while the 212-liter fuel tank supports long hauls without frequent refueling. The Cargo 9016’s design prioritizes durability, with a longitudinal ladder-type frame (204 x 76 x 6 mm) and a fully floating single-speed hypoid rear axle (ratio 4.33:1) for stability under load.

Built for tough conditions, the Ashok Leyland Cargo 9016 combines safety and practicality with a focus on driver comfort and operational efficiency. The suspension system features semi-elliptic multi-leaf shackles with a stabilizer bar at the front and double-acting telescopic shock absorbers, ensuring a stable ride across uneven terrains. Braking is reliable with full air dual-line S-cam brakes, complemented by spring-actuated parking brakes on the rear wheels for added safety. The 825 x 20, 14PR tires provide excellent grip and longevity, supporting the truck’s gross vehicle weight and heavy cargo demands. The forged “I” section reverse Elliot front axle enhances durability, while the air-boosted, hydraulically actuated 380 mm diameter diaphragm clutch ensures smooth engagement. Ideal for industries requiring dependable transport, the Cargo 9016 stands out with its rugged build, high torque, and low maintenance, reinforcing Ashok Leyland’s legacy as India’s second-largest commercial vehicle manufacturer and a trusted name globally.
