Greaves D435 Cargo 3 Wheeler

The Greaves D435 is clearly purpose-built to carry more goods, cover more trips, and help business owners earn better profits. It belongs to the trusted Greaves lineup and is made for users who want durability, low maintenance, and decent mileage from their vehicle. Whether you're delivering goods within city limits or managing a small retail supply, the D435 is designed with utility and cost-effectiveness in mind.

This model is all about function and purpose, making sure that everyday business doesn’t stop. It’s also ICAT-approved, ensuring it meets industry standards.

The Greaves D435 boxy structure helps maximise loading space without taking up too much road space. The front features a simple grille with a compact headlamp setup that performs well, especially on city and semi urban roads. 

The vehicle is built on a strong frame that supports its overall gross weight of 997 kg. The 190 mm ground clearance also means you don’t need to worry too much about bad patches of road or bumps. Its 2100 mm wheelbase gives it good balance, especially when the vehicle is fully loaded.

The tyres—4.50-10 on both front and rear—are the right size for city routes. Overall, its design is focused on keeping it simple, tough, and utility-first.

Inside the cabin, you get a standard seat, basic controls, and handlebar steering, everything you need to operate the vehicle easily. There’s enough space for the driver to sit comfortably without feeling cramped.

The dashboard features essential meters, although it lacks fancy displays or buttons. It’s not built for luxury, but it does tick the boxes for comfort and utility during short to medium distance runs.

What really stands out in the D435 is its 7.6 HP diesel engine. This cargo 3 wheeler comes with a 435 cc single cylinder diesel engine. It is air cooled and naturally aspirated, which means fewer components to worry about and simpler maintenance.

The maximum torque of 19 Nm comes in early (between 2200-2400 RPM), which helps when starting from stop or climbing gentle inclines. Speaking of inclines, its gradeability is 10.2%, so while it’s not made for steep hills, it can handle everyday city roads comfortably.

It uses a 4 speed gearbox with 1 reverse, paired with a multi plate wet clutch, which makes gear shifting fairly smooth. The top speed of 45 kmph is decent for a small cargo 3 wheeler, especially in city traffic. Its payload of 462 kg makes it suitable for transporting groceries, small packages, construction materials, or even e commerce deliveries.

Another strong point is the 10.5-litre diesel tank. It offers enough fuel range for full day operations without frequent refills. And the mileage is also quite good, though not officially stated here, users can expect it to be fuel-efficient considering the engine size and weight.

One added benefit is that the D435 supports IoT integration, which means if you're managing a fleet, you can keep track of vehicle usage and performance remotely.

While the D435 doesn’t come with modern safety tech like ABS or airbags, it’s designed to be mechanically reliable. The hydraulic drum brakes on both ends are responsive and do a good job in regular stop go traffic. They’re also easier and cheaper to maintain.

The suspension setup is also quite solid. You get hydraulic telescopic shock absorbers in both front and rear. The front uses a helical spring damper, while the rear comes with a rubber spring damper, which offers enough cushioning, even when the vehicle is fully loaded.

The vehicle feels stable due to its balanced weight distribution and long wheelbase. Its design also makes sure that the driver remains safe and in control, even during sharp turns or sudden stops.
