Mumbai, May 29 (ANI): Tata Motors, India’s leading manufacturer of both heavy and light automobiles, launched a new line of trucks, named ‘World Truck’ here on Thursday. The launching of the new series of trucks also marked the company’s objective to bring international standard top quality trucks in the Indian market. The product has been jointly developed by Tata Motors and its two subsidiaries, Tata Daewoo Commercial Vehicle Company in South Korea and the Tata Motors European Technical Centre plc in the UK. The company has harnessed the best of inputs and technologies in styling, engines, transmission, suspension, chassis frames, fabrication and dies from partners based in countries like Italy, Germany, Sweden, the US, Japan and South Korea. Tata Motors is developing this new world truck on a completely new platform in association with associated Daewoo Motors. The new trucks from Tata will be pitted against models of Volvo, Nissan, Mercedes Benz and MAN. These trucks will sport 185-565 HP engines delivering up to 300 HP power. The new trucks will be priced at 5-10 percent premium and will have added features like AC cabins.
Specifications:
The range offers a higher power-to-weight ratio translating into faster turnaround time, better reliability and durability, and resulting in higher revenue generation for the transporter than is the norm now. The versatility of the range meets several needs:
* Tractor-trailers and multi-axle trucks for long distance transportation
* Rigid trucks for short distance distribution
* Tippers, mixers, cranes for construction and mining
* Special applications like reefers, bulkers, and tip-trailers
Capacity: The capacity of the trucks can be from 10 tonnes to 75 tonnes Gross Combination Weight (GCW), to meet a wide mix of usages.
Powertrains: The powertrain option stretches from 150 PS to 560 PS, with suitable engines, transmissions and axles of different makes. Additional features on offer include automated transmissions and air suspension.
Vehicle tracking: Every truck will have Global Positioning System for effective vehicle tracking as standard fitment. Comfortable cabin options: The spacious air-conditioned cabs come in three different lengths (day, rest and sleeper), three different heights (flat, low-dome and high-dome roof) and in two different widths. While there are two trim levels, features include reclining seats, adjustable steering wheel, seat belts and arm rests (for both the driver and co-driver) for driver comfort and safety. These features are designed to induce longer and more trips and safer driving. Tata Motors bought the Jaguar and Land Rover brands last year, and is raising funds to close a 1.9 billion dollars residual bridge loan taken for the acquisition. (ANI)
