Tata Motors unveils new truck range

May 28, 2009 11:57 IST

Auto maker Tata Motors launched a range of trucks comprising multi-axle, tractor trailers, tippers, mixers and special application vehicles on Thursday.

Besides India, the range will also be gradually introduced in South Korea, South Africa, the SAARC countries and the Middle East, Tata Motors said in a statement.

"The developing infrastructure in India makes it possible for transporters to reap the benefits of trucks with higher power, speed and carrying capacity. The new range from Tata Motors will meet those needs and will help us penetrate international market more effectively and competitively," Tata Sons and Tata Motors Chairman Ratan Tata said.

The project has been jointly developed by Tata Motors and its two subsidiaries -- Tata Daewoo Commercials Vehicle Co (South Korea) and Tata Motor European Technical Centre (UK).

The company has harnessed the best inputs in technology and styling -- engines, transmission, suspension, chassis, chassis frames, fabrication and dyes -- from partners based in countries like Italy, Germany, Sweden, the US, Japan and South Korea, the statement added.
