Ashok Leyland Ecomet 1615 HE: Power and Efficiency Combined

Introduction

The Ecomet 1615 HE, a key player in the medium-duty segment, represents a synthesis of strength, economy, and driver-centric design. Crafted to endure India’s diverse terrain and operational challenges, this truck is a commitment to consistent, intelligent performance.

Built to Haul. Engineered to Last.

With a Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) of 16.1 tonnes and a payload capacity reaching 10.8 tonnes, the Ecomet 1615 HE is purpose-built for volume and versatility. Whether transporting food grains through rural networks or industrial goods across urban corridors, it handles the load—both literally and operationally.

The truck’s rugged construction—featuring a strong bolted frame, heavy-duty rear axle, and enhanced multi-leaf rear suspension—ensures it withstands long hauls and frequent trips. 

Power Refined

The Ecomet 1615 HE is equipped with an i-Gen6 H-series engine—a 4-cylinder unit generating 150 horsepower and 450 Nm of torque. featuring an advanced blend of iEGR (intelligent Exhaust Gas Recirculation) and SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction), the engine achieves high performance while controlling emissions—proving that efficiency and compliance can coexist.

The Mid-NOx technology embedded in the engine management system ensures optimal fuel combustion, reducing DEF consumption and extending the life of key components. Moreover, a compact and effective inline EATS (Exhaust After Treatment System) enhances thermal control and allows for smarter packaging—crucial in tight cabin spaces.

Designed for the Driver

The Ecomet 1615 HE features an ergonomic cabin, available in day and sleeper configurations, with thoughtful touches throughout: a cable-shift gear system that reduces driver effort, a unilever clutch actuation system for smooth engagement, and a digital display cluster offering real-time driving data.

Add to this the GSAS (Gear Shift Advisory System), a USB charging port, and the next-gen i-Alert fleet management platform, and the truck becomes a smart workplace on wheels. Whether it’s fuel usage monitoring or remote diagnostics, drivers and operators stay informed and in control.

Optimized for Indian Roads

India demands resilience, and this truck delivers. Full-metal front facia for impact resistance, dual-line full air brakes for confident stopping, and LED rear lamps for better visibility—each feature supports safer, smoother operations. And with a fuel tank capacity of up to 185 liters and a 24-liter DEF tank, the Ecomet 1615 HE ensures fewer stops and longer journeys.

With multiple load body options—from fixed side decks to high side decks—and loading spans stretching from 5.2 to 7.3 meters, the vehicle fits a range of logistics scenarios. 

Warranty That Speaks Volumes

With a 4-year or 4 lakh kilometer warranty, Ashok Leyland underscores its confidence in the Ecomet 1615 HE’s performance. This truck doesn’t just serve business needs—it sustains them.

Conclusion

The Ashok Leyland Ecomet 1615 HE is a dynamic solution for today’s transport landscape—merging raw strength, technical innovation, and operational intelligence. Whether moving goods across states or navigating narrow market roads, this commercial vehicle delivers where it matters most: on the ground, every day.
