HNB PLC has partnered with Diesel & Motor Engineering Plc (DIMO) to offer exclusive leasing solutions for TATA commercial vehicles, Mercedes-Benz, Jeep and TATA passenger vehicles, and agricultural machinery.

"At HNB, we are committed to enabling the growth ambitions of every Sri Lankan, whether they are a business owner expanding their fleet, a family investing in a new vehicle, or a farmer modernizing their operations. Together, we're combining strong financial backing with trusted, real value to our customers and help drive the country's economic progress forward." HNB Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer Damith Pallewatte said.

For commercial vehicle customers, special discounts will be arranged on the TATA ACE HT2 (DIMO Batta), TATA Xenon Yodha (Single Cab) and TATA Super Ace, subject to market conditions, offering business owners a cost-effective route to fleet expansion.

Extending the benefits to the passenger vehicle segment, Mercedes-Benz, Jeep and TATA customers will have access to product demonstrations and test drives by appointment, along with free island-wide 24x7 roadside assistance. Added perks include a 2-year/unlimited mileage warranty for Mercedes-Benz vehicles, a 5-year/150,000km warranty for Jeep, and exclusive event invitations, adding further value to the ownership experience.

Commenting on this, Diesel & Motor Engineering Plc Group Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer Gahanath Pandithage said, "We are pleased to partner with HNB to bring greater value to our customers across every segment we serve. From commercial vehicles to passenger cars and agricultural machinery, this partnership ensures our customers can access the right financing alongside the quality, reliability and service support that DIMO is known for."

The partnership also extends strong support to Sri Lanka's agricultural community. Under the agricultural offering, buyers of Mahindra and Swaraj tractors will receive a 4-year comprehensive warranty, free farmers' kits and oil filters for three years, and three free vehicle services, while customers purchasing LOVOL harvesters will benefit from a 2-year comprehensive warranty along with three free vehicle services, ensuring long-term reliability for farming operations.

Together, HNB and DIMO mark a new chapter in mobility and agricultural development in Sri Lanka, combining accessible financing with quality vehicles, machinery and after-sales support. The partnership is expected to contribute to business growth, family mobility and farming productivity across the island.
