Greatest Commercial Vehicle Records: 91Trucks and More

The commercial vehicle market in India is more than just a supporting core to transportation and logistics. It is a showcase for amazing accomplishments. Whether it is the astonishing distances a medium truck will achieve, or an entire fleet of electric vans towing pallets across the nation. Indian commercial vehicles of all kinds continue to set standards and accomplish benchmarks again and again. 

This article traces some of the most remarkable achievements recognized by national and international record authorities, showcasing the vehicles, teams, and efforts behind them.

1. Mahindra Jeeto Strong CNG Drive-a-Thon by 91trucks

The Mahindra Jeeto Strong CNG took part in a 10-day Drive-a-Thon, in seven states and fourteen cities, covering a distance of 5,500 kilometers. The Drive-a-thon, organized and managed by 91trucks, had a number of evaluating factors related to vehicle performance and endurance, vehicle capacity, and mileage consumption, while displaying the working reality of small commercial vehicles. 

Event Duration- July 2- July 11, 2025.

Team: There were four professional drivers for continuous driving. Professional drivers were one of the critical factors in completing the Drive-a-Thon, as they drove the vehicle during the duration of the Drive-a-Thon. The event demonstrated not only the vehicle’s engineering strength but also the operational excellence of the 91Trucks coordination team.

Highlights:

• Route Diversity: Urban, rural, and highway roads tested vehicle versatility.
• Fuel Efficiency: Consistent performance was maintained throughout the journey.
• Operational Reliability: No major mechanical issues occurred during the 10-day journey.

2. Fastest 30,000 km by a Medium Commercial Vehicle

The Tata Motors Ultra T.19, powered by the Turbotronn 2.0 engine, completed 30,000 km in one month, setting a major endurance milestone. The truck was powered by a high-output engine and consistently performed while experiencing a mixture of roads, traffic, and weather conditions. 

Timeline: August 7, 2023 – September 6, 2023

Route: Five circuits of the Golden Quadrilateral National Highway that connected Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, and Kolkata. Each circuit provided trials in fuel efficiency, mechanical stability, and driver coordination.

Team: Six drivers who rotated driving shifts, controlled the vehicle's performance, and kept monitoring for unsafe situations encountered this record.

3. Heaviest Weight Towed by an Electric Van

In a demonstration of raw electric power, the IVECO eDaily electric van pulled a staggering 153.58 tonnes, setting a Guinness World Record for the heaviest weight towed by an electric commercial vehicle.

The operation demanded perfect alignment between engineering and control. Engineers, logistics coordinators, and expert drivers managed every aspect of traction, torque, and ground resistance. The record redefined perceptions about electric mobility, proving that zero-emission vehicles can achieve extraordinary strength and operational stability.

Conclusion

India's commercial vehicles have achieved incredible feats, including long-distance endurance runs, heavy-load electric towing, and long-distance CNG operations. Their inclusion in national and international records is a reflection of the vehicle capabilities, as well as the operational coordination.
