FAQs on the Dost CNG
Still have questions?
Ask about on-road price, variant specs, dealers near you or finance. The trucks-india.com desk replies within one working day.
The Ashok Leyland Bada Dost CNG costs around Rs 9.3 lakh ex-showroom. On-road price is higher because RTO tax, insurance and registration get added on top, and those change by state. Ask two or three dealers in your city, because discounts differ.
The Ashok Leyland Bada Dost CNG gives about 13 km per kg. Your actual figure depends on load, road condition and driving style. With a 148 litre tank, that is roughly 1,924 km on one full tank.
Rated payload is 1,246 kg. Gross vehicle weight is 2,880 kg, which is the truck plus the load together. Stay inside this figure. Overloading breaks springs and tyres early and invites fines at the check post.
The Ashok Leyland Bada Dost CNG uses a 1,478 cc cng engine, 58 HP, 160 Nm of torque. It meets BS VI norms.
Gross vehicle weight is 2,880 kg, or about 2.88 tonnes. GVW is the total allowed weight of the truck plus body plus goods, and it decides which licence and permit you need.
It is mainly used for parcel, courier, poultry and LPG Cylinder. If your daily load and route match that kind of work, this truck fits.
It comes with a 5-speed manual gearbox. A manual gearbox keeps the running cost and the repair bill lower, and most workshops can handle it.
It has 4 tyres in a 4x2 layout. Tyre size is 215/75 R15 LT radial tubeless.
Ashok Leyland gives a manufacturer warranty on this truck. The exact months and kilometre limit change by model and state, so get it in writing from your dealer at the time of booking.
Turning radius is 11 m and wheelbase is 2,510 mm. A smaller turning radius makes market lanes and narrow gates easier, so compare this figure with the other trucks on your list.
The closest options at this size are Isuzu S-CAB (2,850 kg GVW, from about Rs 9 lakh), Mahindra Bolero Camper (2,735 kg GVW, from about Rs 10 lakh) and Force Trax Crew Van (2,900 kg GVW, from about Rs 8 lakh). Compare payload, mileage and the service network on your own route before you decide, because those three decide your cost per km more than the sticker price does.
Yes. The Ashok Leyland Bada Dost CNG has a GVW of 2,880 kg, within the 7,500 kg light motor vehicle limit. The Supreme Court ruled on 6 November 2024 that an LMV licence holder may drive a transport vehicle of this weight without a separate transport licence. Hazardous-goods work needs extra qualifications.
