Unpopular opinion: Trucks shouldn't be used for covering 1000km+ distance in 2024. Govt must build a more dense railway cargo network

I have a relative who was a truck driver and even though truck looks ugly and ancient, truck drivers take care of it as their baby. In India, roads are not good so max it can be driven is 400KM with 2 drivers doing shifts. My relative has bought Mercedes-Benz truck couple of years ago and it is absolute luxury compared to older Indian models.

There has to be modernisation in all sectors possible to make India a developed country.

2:25 LOL "Chaipatti deni padti hai" 😅

परवडेगा नही😂😂😂❤❤

Having managed logistics for a leading manufacturing company, cost indeed is major reason. Old trucks cost around 10 lakhs, small transporters break even in 4-5 years. new truck would cost upwards of 45-50 lakhs, which only big transporters with fleets operating in multiple states can afford. regardless of this, there needs to be a major upgrade in amenities, in such hot weather of ours, lack of facilities at destinations, rto passings and longer wait times, it is quite difficult for truck drivers. Compared to US(we should aspire) we are way behind, you can watch wall street journal documentary of trucking industry to get an idea.

Recently there is a Transporting Company which got a big found in India to start modern transportation hub. Volvo has given there top end trucks from their side which cost 1.56 cr. That is very costly but that truck is accepted and currently running on some routes in India 😌.. Its a big achievement

Chai pani aur chai pati 😂😂

Corrupt RTOs take lot of bribes from truckers

I love Tamil Nadu trucks ❤️ Here in Maharashtra we uses tamilnadu and Karnataka trucks for borewell's

Toll charges are high for trucks

Nice info.. never knew about these things before.

India should adopt trailer system. logistics cost toh kum nahi hoga par transit time kum hoga. We definately need better roads.

Great, wanted this topic to be discussed for a long time.

Thanks for making this video

Excellent analysis about Indians trucking, however we are very far from western world trucking quality being a employee of MB trucks its useful information. Thanks for updating.

What a unique content ❤ love ur channel

Sidhi si baat hai dost. Majorly trucks body building ke hisab se bante hai or wo log hi design lagbhag wahi purana wala rakhte hai.

Sahi video

Make truckers life easy. Good for everyone.

Perfect information

Baat to sahi hae ❤❤

The govt should encourage RoRo service in maximum parts of India, it would be beneficial and time saving for truckers and cost saving also, its a win win situation for both railway as well as transportation

High interest on emis, maintenance cost, price increase due to r&d, infrastructure problems and different taxes for different states are the hardles which are needed to be overcome.

Very high Toll rates on New Express ways are major contributors for transport cost. It has offset the time advantage. DFCs may help somewhat.

I really wanted such video related to Indian trucks... usually big fleet operators like vrl,DTDC,delhivery etc have proper trucks and have proper coach built for it like Bharat Benz and diamond coach builders and kms coach builders which is costly so drivers who own very less trucks or just one cannot afford such trucks hence they get only main chassis from big companies like tata, Ashok Leyland and get their coaches built by local builders which is very cheap compared to corporate options like tata prima or Eicher trucks etc...but local coaches are made from thin metal sheets,wood, fibreglass materials which almost offer no safety compared to fully metal coach and etc

In pvt sector unorganised market the competition is so much that any thing that gives people oppertunity to earn livelyhood is lapped by people in hoards... So as soon as the industry earns more than the survival costs there will be ao much oversupply that people cant think on moving up the lifestyle chain...

in one line. it should be cost effective. but as long as safety and emission standards are good, its good.

Trucks wale humesha fast lane occupy karke chalte hai fir bhi ~250km hi chalte hai ek din me! Sab se pehle truck walo ko traffic rule follow karna chahiye !

America k truck badhiya h kyuki truck k ander technology aachi h or sath mein bed bhi h aise hone chahiye truck.

bah acha video banaya

Bhai aur ek cheez can u give us update where some time back government had launched some kind of app for truckers so they won't have to get empty while returning back from their journey

I think you forgot an important point here which is per capita income in general and per capita of drivers in particular. That per capita income determines the what kind of lifestyle drivers have. With rise of the per capita income the quality of work environment also rises. When you compare income of these drivers with western ones you will see stark differences. And that’s why when we compare Indian trucks with western trucks we see major differences in their appearance and amenities that they have for their drivers. As India’s per capita income increases the quality of life of these drivers will get better and better and you’ll start to see drivers driving in nice shirt and jeans rather than in baniyan and lungi (because they don’t have AC in their cabins, not that I think less of lungi than jeans). The drivers will have better skill and training to operate these vehicles, they’ll have better road behaviour etc . With this the trucks will also get better they’ll have better safety features better brakes etc. And I think this custom culture in our truck industry is amazing because India is not like Americas and Europe where geographies are mostly don’t change that much as it changes here in India. A driver can be riding his truck in hot dry Rajasthan to icy chilled Himalayan states in a single trip and on his next trip he finds himself driving in hot humid roads of western ghats. So building trucks according to drivers need is great and I love that fact that here in India trucks have their own signature styles depending upon where the truck is from, from Kashmir to Kanyakumari you can see quite different kind of trucks as people are mentioning in comments. I’ll choose this beautiful diversity in India’s truck culture any day over the homogenous boring designs of western trucks which are soulless. And I’m excited to see how these Indian trucks looks will evolve over the years and I hope that they won’t lose their desi-ness in the world where everyone is trying to look western.

R RASHESH IS THE BEST IMAGE IN THIS VEDIO

10 years limit for diesel vehicles will be another significant deterant for modernization.

you have good command on Hindi language, despite it not being your 04:36 first language and what a different topic yet VERY relevant topic to cover🤍💙 really appreciate your research and insights👍🏼👌🏼 khaas kar ..kyunki shaayad sab kuch akele aap ne kiya hai. Yes iss topic ke liye ९-९½ kam padenge. As it can be a multi part series or a deeper documentary video. Still.. loved it and lots of wishes.🌹 budhapa hsi, tou ab background sound effects or sounds ke kaaran.. narration/ aap ki awaaz kai jagah puri kat gayi tou samjh nahin aaye kuchek words.

For security reason - भारत मे हर शहर मे CCTV cameras ‌लगाने चाहिए।🙏

Sir please Indian defence news and technologies par bhi videos banaya kijiye❤❤❤❤

Sir your video was amazing and knowledgeable but the voice in your video was too low I hope you would work on it

In short, We don't have the money to modernize our trucks. Modern trucks = increase in unnecessary costs and overall increase in transportation charges. Result = Increase in expenses/decrease in profits.

Make a video on " how countries having trade deficit make money for government expenses?"

Good video bro, Well people should know how trucks are manufactured, the chassis is made by Tata or Ashok Leyland and the body isn't, the body is made by other companies which aren't multi million dollar companies, the chassis are brand new the bodies are just made by small companies which can't spend that much on R&D, same happens with buses too but in buses constant R&D happens as it is related to passenger transportation and comfort, although international truck manufacturing companies do manufacture their own bodies like volvo and bharatbenz even mahindra with their navistar and tata with their prima which are more modern with more features but they are way too costly and in some cases double the cost as those bodies are either made by the company themselves or by larger companies, just like you said logistics can't spend too much for efficiency and keeping low cost is beneficial.......

Positive thing is Gov. is thinking and developing about this problems..

Bro made video on delhi DTC buses

These Truck drivers should not dictate the terms every time, last time every body saw what happened during the strike.

Right

The first reason of the rate of interest is unresearched, in those countries overall inflation is always low hence their interest rates are low but in India inflation is always 2-4 % higher than in those countries so our interest rate reflects that and it shows additional ripple effect as well.

❤

Another big problem is average speed being very low alongwith truckers not following lane culture at all resulting in massive highway congestion.

parvade ga nahi ...best part of the video ...

I don't know why I'm watching this But Theke Dekhta hun Maja Ayega 😂 (Bhai thoda joor se bola kr yaar )

Can you make a video why trucks, buses drive in all lanes on multi lane highway - no lane discipline

Trucks are backbone of any country.

bro why audio is quite lower in your all videos, is it intentional ???

Kudos to him for trying to simplify everything in order to explain it. But this issue is not that simple. There are way many variables and his basic maths about the truck driver doing double the trips after mumbai-delhi expressway is way off.

Companies provide only Driver cabin + chasis banch and engine(BS6-2), those are world class only, body is built and added by user by its own choice in India and they make body solid and maximum inner space inside container.

4:33 “Parvadega nahi” = Pahuch ke bahar. Jokes aside, your content is really informative. - Jai Maharashtra

Old is gold 💛

Technology is new but the great truck body builders in india are still stuck with old school designs

भारतीय ट्रकिंग इंडस्ट्री पर आपका शोध अच्छा है, कुछ बातें आपने ठीक लिखीं,

The cost of transportation will remain high in India even after improvement in journey time due to good roads due to the following 2 reasons 1.Non mechanised loading & unloading ie use of forklifts cranes tail lifts pallets etc for eg if a Delhi Mumbai journey takes 3 days it takes another 3 days to load the vehicle in delhi & unload in mumbai bring the effective time to 6 days & the exorbitant Mathadi cost is another factor to add in 2. Use of lower payload trucks for long haul journeys due to narrow roads in loading & unloading industrial areas even if one thinks of transshipping from higher capacity vehicles it becomes a more expensive affair

Government planning 1000 truck rest areas with proper facilities . Let's see how it goes n how it's maintained

This video is incomplete without mentioning the R Rajesh vlog

5:03 ye road Satara Maharashtra ka hai

Bro I am trucker in America and by law hum 11 hours drive krde h ek din me and 14 hour's total shift and 750 miles 12-1300 km in 11 hours

Because old trucks are simple & reliable.

they look beautiful

My father is truck driver. He dont owned the truck. During my childhood i travelled with father from srinagar to delhi thrice. Most common things i observed the harrashment he face from traffic police whether in j&k, punjab, haryana or delhi. Everywhere were same. Second there is no time limit for driving. Third Basic amenity in trucks like ac or drinking water facilities. Even in dabba they are very expensive.

Transportation infrastructure highly depends upon the level road infra, which in turn depends upon state and local governments, checkpoints, 'naaka' and such things which leaves a trucker open for exploitation should be completely abolished. A one time tax, a monthly road tax, should also be introduced for trucks which run long distances between multiple states on a fixed route, so that they are not required to give anyone any tax. Also, education regarding trucking rules and taxing mechanisms should be more promoted. One can only take benefit of you, as long as you allow them to.

Bhai hamare yahan I barely see these trucks. Naye Tata wale long trucks hi hote hain yahan Haryana mein. Modern.

Average full size truck in India has engine size of 6.7l, whereas in USA and Europe, the engines used typically has displacement of 12.6l, all the way to 18l. Those trucks have much larger engines than our trucks.

भारत में ट्रक ड्राइवर को कोई खास सम्मान और सुविधाएं नहीं मिलती है और भ्रष्टाचार अलग से होता है। कुल मिलाकर भारतीय ट्रक परिवहन उद्योग में क्रांति की आवश्यकता है।

4:41 my city- bhagwanpur chowk muzaffarpur,bihar

Ek bat kahu old design of Indian trucks are like golden designs

tata Prima and signa left the chat 😂😂 but mere yahw to bhot se trucks Prima or signa jaise hi hai😊

Nitin gadkari can only make changes and I believe he will be going to do changes by making rules and regulations in the near future.

Bro 5.3sec minutes is scene me Muzaffarpur Bihar bhagwanpur ka video ❤❤❤❤

Other that emissions and safety, look at how proportionate & beautiful European trucks are!

My friend's second hand Tata truck is older than him and even still running well.

tata is making money in indian consumer by giving them 3 rd.class quality

Truckers are themselves highly inefficient, they generally leave the decision-making on mostly uneducated drivers who would not make data-backed decisions. A lot of times drivers avoid expressways and even highways to save toll tax but take much longer in the journey because they don't understand the economics. We need large tech-enabled fleets to disrupt this and improve the efficiency of this segment. Just like Ola, Uber and recently Porter have done for respective segments. Unfortunately, startups in the intercity space have remained only marketplaces and haven't improved quality/customer experience.

Your video sound is so low please fix it out ✋❤️

Modi hai toh mumkin hai

Bhai mic ki awaaz bada lo 🙂

Aap thoda dhire commentary de sakte hai kya? Taki sunne wale ko kuchh samajh bhi aaye.

Some other Reasons - If Truck 🚛 is Operating under Company Owner of the Truck Doesn't Care for the Driver - Comfort, Health, etc Sometimes running a very small business becomes headache & it doesn't generate that much profit to give fair amount to everyone It doesn't mean evey business should become big brand to become successful These things depend on many factors But I can suggest you a Video of "Behind the Wheels" Channel - "2024 Tata Signa 3530 TK Customer Review" (I am not saying Every Owner is Like this but many are We can call them - Crony Cap... 🤑 Many times they earn huge Profits & doesn't give Good Pay to there Employees & don't invest on Good Trucks)

India ka truck bahar se old dikhta hai lekin andar se bs6 hai 😂

R Rajesh vlog right now : 🗿💵

Aaj k date k truck design bahut change ho gye hai..kha ho bhai aap😮

Jai Shree RAM🏹🙂🙏🚩 Jai HANUMAN Ji💪🙂🙏🚩 Jai BHARAT MATA KI🇮🇳🙂🙏🚩

Install CCTV wherever it is needed.

Tata k new truck k ad dekhe ni kya

Bhai mere hisab se ye 1980 wala technology hii best hai , atleast ye trucks kabhi fail nai hoti hai chahe jitna bhi kharab rasta kyun na ho ,but modern trucks Indian roads pe survive nai kar sakte .

If government thinking about long-term profit not for short-term profit only then this change will happen

Dash cam should be mandatory for all vehicle

Bhai tera data galat h thik h' bs6 aane kw bad truck ke features mein kafi badlao aaya h, aur bahut features add kiye gye h aur baki jo trucks h signa series ke wo bhi kaf badhiya h

more analysis

AC ki awashakta nhi hai minister sab Aap Rto entry or mechanical band karwaiye apka bohot upkar hoga driver pe😊😊

Safety of trucks do NEED to be improved, same as safety of cars.

There are modern trucks like- Bharatbenz, Eicher, ashok leyland, tata signa prima
