Ashok Leyland Dost

Trucks and Commercial Road Vehicles

The Ashok Leyland Dost is a light commercial vehicle with a payload of 1.25 tonnes and was the first product of the Indian-Japanese commercial vehicle joint venture Ashok Leyland Nissan Vehicles. It uses a 58 hp high-torque, three-cylinder, turbocharged common rail diesel engine and was offered in BS3 and BS4 versions. The bodywork and some of the underpinnings relate to the Nissan C22 Vanette of the 1980s, which is most visible in the door design. The Dost is built at the company's Hosur plant in Tamil Nadu in three versions, and with it Ashok Leyland entered the light commercial vehicle segment in India. The larger Bada Dost followed in September 2020.
