Facelift

The Czech company CSG purchased the Avia brand from the Indian owners in April 2016 and decided to renew the Avia D production in the Czech Republic. The production was moved from Letňany to Přelouč. In June 2017, a new facelifted Avia D (Euro5) was introduced at the Moscow fair.^[5] Production of the new Avia D Initia was launched in September 2017. These new trucks meet the Euro-6 emission standard and have Cummins ISB 4.5l four-cylinder engines (150, 180 and 210 PS). Initia presents a new vehicle mask, as well as the updated technology and equipment. The company wants to produce about 360-400 units annually.^[3]

Since 2019, the company has abandoned the lower models D75 and D90 Initia and only continues to produce D120 Initia 4x4 (134 or 152 kW).
