MAN CLA 31.300 EVO 8x2

The MAN CLA 31.300 EVO 8x2 costs about Rs 39 lakh to Rs 50 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 MAN CLA 31.300 EVO 8x2 gives about 7 kmpl. Your actual figure depends on load, road condition and driving style. With a 300 litre tank, that is roughly 2,100 km on one full tank.

Rated payload is 21,000 kg. Gross vehicle weight is 25,000 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 MAN CLA 31.300 EVO 8x2 uses a 6,900 cc diesel engine, 300 HP, 1,150 Nm of torque. It meets BS VI norms.

Gross vehicle weight is 25,000 kg, or about 25 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 construction material. If your daily load and route match that kind of work, this truck fits.

It comes with a 9 Speed manual gearbox. A manual gearbox keeps the running cost and the repair bill lower, and most workshops can handle it.

Yes, air conditioning is part of the cabin. That matters on long runs in summer, and drivers stay with the job longer when the cabin is comfortable.

It has 10 tyres in a 6x4 layout. Tyre size is 11.00 X 20.

Man 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.

The MAN CLA 31.300 EVO 8x2 has a GVW of 31,000 kg, above the 7,500 kg light motor vehicle limit, so the driver needs a heavy goods vehicle transport licence. An ordinary LMV (car) licence does not cover it.
