Tata Motors has launched factory-fitted air conditioning systems across its entire truck range. This significant upgrade spans the SFC, LPT, Ultra, Signa and Prima cabins, while also extending to cowl models for the first time. Tata Motors has also introduced a range of other enhancements to its range of heavy duty trucks, including power output enhancements.
Rajesh Kaul, vice president and business head – trucks at Tata Motors Commercial Vehicles, said, “The introduction of air-conditioned cabins and cowls marks a significant step toward building a comfortable working environment for drivers, enabling higher productivity.
“In addition to complying with the regulatory requirements, we have leveraged this opportunity to deliver long-term value with a host of enhancements. These upgrades, shaped by extensive customer feedback, and backed by smart engineering, are designed to minimize impact on total cost of ownership, ensuring greater profitability for fleet owners.”
The air-conditioning system offers dual-mode operation, eco and heavy, enabling optimal cooling with enhanced energy efficiency.
Tata Motors’ range of heavy trucks, tippers and prime movers are now also offered with a higher power output of up to 320hp. Coupled with intelligent technology that maximizes fuel economy, this upgrade makes the trucks well-suited for diverse applications, Tata says.
