It features a remote control tipper mechanism and power steering, with other applications like a refrigerated container, cash and service van and ambulance also possible.

Partner curtain slider

The curtain slider on the recently launched Partner LCV, an industry first, helps to improve operational efficiency, making it suitable in applications like parcel goods, durables, perishables, etc.
