DICV has already been exporting trucks to other African countries such as Kenya, Zambia, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe.

DICV operates with MFTBC (Mitsubishi Truck and Bus Corporation) under the umbrella of Daimler Trucks Asia. While DICV focuses on the Indian market with its brand BharatBenz and caters to countries such as Nepal, that are similar to the Indian market conditions, MFTBC services the Asian and African regions with its existing portfolio of Mitsubishi-Fuso trucks produced at its plants in Kawasaki and Oragadam.
