The Captain 3718 is driven by the home-grown powerhouse – the H-Series common rail system 180 HP engine. With proven performance and fuel economy across the entire spectrum of applications, this engine is a legend in haulage, familiar to stakeholders across the value chain. The steady power is transmitted with integrity by the advanced eight speed 8S1110 gearbox with cable shift for smoother gear change. The heavy-duty gears themselves can withstand up to 1110 Nm of input torque, helping the vehicle outperform competition on the open road, as well as less optimal conditions. The FA99 pusher lift front axle brings improved maneuverability, better stability and safety to the drive. With a higher wheel lock angle, the best-in-class turning circle diameter is further reduced and the bigger bearing makes for larger load carrying capacity. And the robust rear axle has a rear axle ratio of 6.17:1. Tested for durability over 10 Lakh kilometres of varied terrain and operating conditions, peak performance is amplified by consistency and reliability. The international design of the cabin is not aesthetic alone, but highly durable and capable of withstanding high impact. Every aggregate is built to last, and illustrates this with industry-leading maintenance intervals. The best part about Captain’s performance is that it is reliable irrespective of driver variability. It brings a winning blend of ruggedness and user-friendly features to the business.

A revolutionary BSIV technology that enables efficient, hassle-free transition. Unlike SCR systems, iEGR needs no AdBlue for emission control. It also does not need additional sensors or complex electronics and in fact shares common parts with BSIII engines. Despite this, iEGR delivers better mileage and lower maintenance cost. Combining the best of CRS (Common Rail System) and EGR, it uses improved in-cylinder combustion management for reduced injection pressure leading to better engine life, powering engines up to 400 HP while successfully meeting BS IV emission norms. It’s efficient exhaust and combustion system results in 10% better fuel efficiency than BS III engines in some applications. iEGR is the most ideal BSIV technology for your business.
