The Ashok Leyland Viking is a front engined bus chassis manufactured by Ashok Leyland that is primarily intended for intercity and moffussil (urban to rural) duties and was introduced in 1976.[1] It was based on the English Albion Viking. Since then, Viking has attracted a lot of buyers in private and government sectors in India. It was the first bus with an alternator in India. The Viking chassis also has a larger front overhang that facilitates placing the front door before front axle.[2][3]

In 1997, a naturally aspirated CNG engine option specifically designed for BEST was introduced. The company also launched a two step entry Viking bus chassis in 2003, as an alternative to the three step entry buses of that time. This chassis had a floor height of 860mm.[3]

Currently the Viking lineup consists of diesel and CNG engines conforming to BS VI norms. The chassis is also available in 4 wheelbase options. The chassis has an intelligent exhaust gas recirculation ('iEGR) system, which is a modified version of the original exhaust gas recirculation system.[4]
