Ltd., a leading integrated logistics service provider headquartered in Bengaluru, Karnataka, has taken delivery of 12 units of ISUZU D-MAX pick-up for its last-mile delivery logistics. Some of these vehicles would cater to the e-commerce logistics segment, into which Sindhu Cargo Services has forayed, besides its traditional logistics services.

The order comes immediately after a significant order Isuzu Motors India bagged from Gati-KWE, a leading express distribution and supply-chain solutions provider, last week.
The ISUZU D-MAX offers quicker turnaround and best-in-class fuel efficiency in its category. The pick-up truck has been gaining solid traction across various business segments, thanks to the unbeatable value proposition it offers to its owners.
