The porter is a midsize goods carrier and is tailor made for the rough and tough Indian rural roads. It is ideally suited for milk vendors, transport operators, courier companies and other small time business men who would love to have a small transport vehicle to carry a limited number of goods.
Hiring a big commercial vehicle would not be ideally suited for these types of businesses as they would cost a lot and eat into the profits. The vehicle has been specially designed to provide maximum balance in not so smooth roads and terrains.
The vehicle uses the spares of Ambassador and thus the spares are easily available all over the place. The vehicle is also very low on maintenance and servicing. The engine is a 2 liter fuel efficient diesel engine which can accumulate a power of about 51 Bhp. The longer wheel base and the wider body also help in accommodating large number of goods.
