Research and Development

Ashok Leyland Defence Systems (ALDS) continues to build on Ashok Leyland’s philosophy of offering world-class technology that is relevant and affordable to the customer. This is the philosophy that has driven R&D and has translated time and again into products that seamlessly integrate international technology with local needs.

Reliability has been the hallmark of products from the ALDS stable. Ruggedness and durability are the prime concerns of armed forces worldwide, because of their direct bearing on operational effectiveness and flexibility.

Ashok Leyland Defence Systems makes extensive use of Ashok Leyland’s modern CAD set-up, a comprehensive test track facility (where cobble-stones are calibrated and reset periodically), accelerated fatigue testing rigs and rigorous durability testing facilities.  There is a constant improvement in the life and on-road performance of every make of Ashok Leyland vehicle that hits the roads.
