Tata Motors Unveils New Range Of Trucks

Tata Motors has launched a range of world standard trucks comprising multi-axle, tractor trailers, tippers, mixers and special application vehicles. Besides India, the range will also be gradually introduced in South Korea, South Africa, the SAARC countries and the Middle East. The powertrain option stretches from 150PS to 560PS, with suitable engines, transmissions and axles of different makes. Additional features on offer include automated transmissions and air suspension. The capacity of the trucks can be from 10 tonnes to 75 tonnes Gross Combination Weight (GCW), to meet a wide mix of usages.
