 Executive
director-Commercial Vehicles Business Unit TML Ravi Kant said that
development of road infrastructure in the country has led to the
increase in the distribution of goods across India, based on the
hub and spoke model.
"Witnessing the significant growth in the sub 1 ton payload
category which was currently being serviced by the three-wheeler
segment, TML decided to develop a reliable and cost-effective 4
wheeler for the sub-1 ton payload category with a water cooled,
twin cylinder diesel engine, after detailed surveys and studies
in India and around the world, especially in India and China. Tata
mini-truck belongs to a totally new category in the Indian commercial
vehicles segment. It is also among the few mini-trucks in the world
to be powered by a diesel engine," he said.

to 65 kmph as against the average 45 kmph speed of three-wheeler having
a similar payload.
