Tata Motors begins selling Prima World trucks

New Delhi, Nov 4 : Country's leading commercial vehicle manufacturer Tata Motors today said it has started selling in five states the Prima range of World Trucks, unveiled in May this year.

''The distribution has begun with select customers in the states of Gujarat, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Delhi & West Bengal,'' a company statement said, adding that the company has already equipped its countrywide service network to support the Prima range.

The Prima range, compliant with BS-III and BS-IV, comprises about 10 major variants of multi-axle trucks, tractor-trailers, tippers, mixers and special application vehicles which have 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 Prima 4028 S, a 40-tonne 266-PS (Cummins ISBE engine) tractor with a 9-speed ZF transmission, and a matching trailer with new generation brakes, ABS and specialised axles for heavy duty and high speed application, is priced at Rs 21 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi), and that with the trailer at Rs 31 lakh.

The 4028 S tractor-trailer will be followed during the course of the financial year with three other products-- two 49-tonne tractor-trailers and a 31-tonne tipper in key segments and routes, the statement added.
