International Operations

Our growing international footprint is thanks to our success in producing vehicles ideally suited for varying foreign conditions and terrains. Exporting to over 30 countries worldwide, we are leaders in the bus markets of Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Mauritius and have significant presence in the Middle East and Africa too. We are proud participants in the Bus Rapid Transport (BRT) system in Lagos, Nigeria, that is going a long way in providing better and comfortable city travel. We are now seeking to make inroads into CIS and Latin America.

AVIA Ashok Leyland Motors, headquartered in Prague, the Czech Republic, represents our European presence. The famous D- Series trucks are popular on the roads of Hungary, UK, Ireland, Slovakia, Spain, Czech Republic and soon in the Middle East.

With the Ras Al Khaimah Investment Authority, we have set up a state-of-the-art facility at Ras Al Khaimah, UAE, with an initial annual capacity to manufacture 2,000 vehicles of international quality.

The 75.1% stake in Optare plc., a leading bus maker in the UK, gives impetus to our global bus strategy to accelerate technology adoption, develop new products and address new markets.
