AMW's vision rests on three pillars providing world-class quality, delivering on time and maximizing the economic advantage of large scale. Our integrated manufacturing facility at Bhuj, Gujarat, is built to optimize on all three.
Our commitment to quality permits us to use only the latest and best technology at our world-class facilities. The plant at Bhuj is spread over a sprawling 515-acre area that forms the backbone of the company's truck manufacturing in India. With state-of-the-art plants, assembly line, R&D and paint shop, coupled with a modern warehouse, AMW has ensured that nothing but the best trucks roll out from these premises.
After pre-assembly, a semi-automated assembly line ensures that the chassis, engine, wheels, cabs and other components are integrated to produce trucks fit for any road and any load. AMW sources the engines for its trucks from some of the world's best automotive manufacturers, and they are Euro-III compliant. AMW's assembly processes are governed by operating procedures that follow international best practices.
The cab weld shop assembles cabs from pre-fabricated components through a highly automated process. The air-conditioned sleeper cabin on all AMW trucks is a first in India.
Post-production, trucks move to our fully automated paint shop. The process employs an advanced technique involving the movement of highly charged particles through a colloidal suspension under an electric field. This is done to ensure a high-quality, enduring glossy finish. The shop has two state-of-the-art coating lines for carriages and cabs. It can apply as many as 11 colours simultaneously!
As a manufacturer of heavy-duty trucks, AMW places great importance on the production of robust chassis systems. The frame shop is capable of producing in-frame truck chassis with advanced vehicle balance, handling and ride characteristics, and manoeuvrability on any terrain.
Post-manufacture, AMW trucks are subjected to a rigorous testing regime. Each truck is verified, validated and certified for performance, durability and reliability before it is ready for the road. Test criteria include:
