Ashok Leyland ECOMET 1214 (E4)
The Ashok Leyland ECOMET 1214 (E3) is the heavier sibling of the ECOMET 1012, stepping up to a 12,140 kg gross vehicle weight and a payload capacity of approximately 7,000 kg. This positions the ECOMET 1214 as a high-value medium-duty truck for Kenyan operators needing to maximise cargo per trip — particularly in agricultural bulk produce transport, building materials supply, and FMCG distribution at the upper end of the medium-duty payload range.Powered by a 120 HP 4-cylinder Euro 3 diesel engine, the ECOMET 1214 delivers the reliability and simplicity that have made the ECOMET series popular with owner-operators and fleet buyers across East Africa. Its robust chassis handles the demands of Kenya's highway network and secondary routes, while the service-friendly powerplant minimises workshop downtime between jobs.Available from KES 3,990,000 (incl. VAT) exclusively through AWL, the authorised Ashok Leyland dealer in Kenya. Prices are indicative and subject to change without notice. Please contact Automobile Warehouse Limited for current pricing, availability and promotional offers.
