Tata Motors and its distributor Nitol Motors recently announced the setting up of a new distribution network for Tata Genuine Parts (TGPs), used in various Tata commercial vehicles in Bangladesh.
The proposed network, consisting of 30 authorised parts outlets across the country, and a corporate showroom in the city, will ensure widespread availability of TGPs that will reduce the overall lifetime cost of the vehicles of Bangladeshi Tata users.
Besides, Nitol-Tata also organised a four-day countrywide mega service campaign in its 10 service centres across the country from June 7-10. The programme included free diagnostics, health-checkups and service of Tata commercial vehicles as well as counseling of vehicle operators on the effectiveness of preventive maintenance practices. All the drivers were also provided with counseling of HIV prevention and eye check-up. Over 2,800 drivers with their vehicles attended the programme.
Moreover, a daylong cultural extravaganza for the Tata customers and selected stakeholders of the commercial vehicle industry in Bangladesh was organised at the Bangladesh-China Friendship Convention Centre, where the latest EX range Tata Euro-II and Euro-III emission complaint commercial vehicles were displayed.
The 'Nitol-Tata Utsab' was inaugurated by Indian High Commissioner in Bangladesh Pinak Ranjan Chakravorty. Among others, Nitol Group Chairman Abdul Matlub Ahmad, Tata Group Resident Director Manzer Hussain, Tata Motors of India General Manager (Customer Care) SM Sharma, and Nitol Motors Head (Sales) Mustak Ahmad also spoke on the occasion.
