On Friday, Ashok Leyland said that its light commercial vehicle (LCV) ‘Dost’ has crossed one lakh sales mark.

“It (Dost) is today the largest volume brand in the Ashok Leyland portfolio, with customers, not just in India, but across countries like Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, Myanmar, South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, Malawi, Male and the UAE,”  the company said in a statement.

The Managing Director of Ashok Leyland, Vinod K Dasari said, Dost fills an important gap in the company’s portfolio, and 1,00,000 Dost vehicles on road, across 11 countries, is a proof of a good product design, solid engineering, and strong market acceptance.

He also added, “A Dost is sold every six working minutes, and it is already the number two player in its segment. We are very confident about its future”.
