Ashok Leyland has formed several partnerships over the years to enhance its capabilities. It partnered with SUN Mobility in 2017 to develop electric vehicles. It has a long partnership with Hino Motors dating back to the 1980s to source engine technology. In 2017, they renewed their agreement for Hino to provide engine technology to help Ashok Leyland meet Euro 6 standards. Ashok Leyland also has partnerships with Rosoboronexport and ELCOM to provide tracked vehicles to the Indian Armed Forces, and with IIT Madras to conduct battery research for electric vehicles. Previously, it partnered with Iveco in the 1980s and 1990s which resulted in the Cargo range of trucks.

HINO MOTORS
• During the early 1980s Ashok Leyland entered into a collaboration with Japanese company Hino
Motors from whom technology for the H-series engines was sourced. Many indigenous versions of
the H-series engine were developed with 4 and 6 cylinders, and also conforming to BS2, BS3 & BS4
emission standards in India. These engines proved to be extremely popular with the customers
primarily for their excellent fuel efficiency. Most current models of Ashok Leyland come with H-
series engines. Japan entered into a Mutual Cooperation Agreement (MCA) on 27 November 2017
renewing their cooperative agreement that had started in 1986. According to the agreement Ashok
Leyland will use Hino's engine technology for its Euro 6 development and will support in the
development of Hino's engine parts purchasing in India for global operation

IVECO PARTNERSHIP
• In the late 1980s Iveco investment and partnership resulted in Ashok Leyland launching the 'Cargo'
range of trucks based on European Ford Cargo trucks. The Cargo entered production in 1994, at
Ashok Leyland's new plant in Hosur, southeast of Bengaluru.[12] These vehicles used Iveco engines
and for the first time had factory-fitted cabs. Though the Cargo trucks are no longer in production
and the use of Iveco engine was discontinued, the cab continues to be used on the Ecomet range of
trucks as well as for several of Ashok Leyland's military vehicles.
• The Cargo was originally introduced in 7 and 9 long tons (7,100 and 9,100 kg) versions; later, heavier-
duty models from 15 to 26 long tons (15,200 to 26,400 kg) were progressively introduce
