He thanked Paschim Nepal Bus Byabasai Pvt. Ltd. for their confidence in the brand. Mr. Kharel, in turn, commended the Majestic’s robust design and advanced features, including a factory-fitted air-conditioning compressor and a lubricated-for-life propeller shaft—both of which are expected to enhance reliability and reduce long-term maintenance costs.
Also present were Mr. Raghu Poudel, Sales Head of BMCV, and Mr. Santosh Thapa, HCB Manager at BMCV. The event saw a strong turnout, with over 100 transport industry stakeholders in attendance and bookings for eleven additional units confirmed on the spot.
The Majestic 12M is powered by a 192 HP engine delivering a peak torque of 715 Nm, providing strong pulling power for Nepal’s challenging terrain.
