Avia D 90 Initia

Avia D is a medium truck model line made by the Czech company Avia in Prague's Letňany. Since 2000, they have replaced the Avia A 60/65/70/75/80 series. Modifications of the series were: Avia D 60/65/75/80/85/90/100/110/120 and Avia D 120 4x4. Trucks have complied with the Euro-5 standard. The Avia D 75 (without engine and gearbox) was supplied, for example, to the British company Smith's Electric Vehicles (SEV), which built all-electric trucks from them.[1]

In the Czech Republic, production was terminated in 2013. Production was transferred to India, where it continued to be built under the name Ashok Leyland Boss.[2] After the Avia was bought by the Czech company CSG, production in the Czech Republic recommenced in September 2017; this facelift variant was named Avia D Initia and meets the Euro-6 standard.[3]

Facelift

[edit]

The Czech company CSG purchased the Avia brand from the Indian owners in April 2016 and decided to renew the Avia D production in the Czech Republic. The production was moved from Letňany to Přelouč. In June 2017, a new facelifted Avia D (Euro5) was introduced at the Moscow fair.[5] Production of the new Avia D Initia was launched in September 2017. These new trucks meet the Euro-6 emission standard and have Cummins ISB 4.5l four-cylinder engines (150, 180 and 210 PS). Initia presents a new vehicle mask, as well as the updated technology and equipment. The company wants to produce about 360-400 units annually.[3]

Since 2019, the company has abandoned the lower models D75 and D90 Initia and only continues to produce D120 Initia 4x4 (134 or 152 kW).
