Tata Motors, one of India’s largest commercial vehicle manufacturers has introduced what it claims is its technologically advanced engine, Turbotronn 2.0, to deliver a new benchmark of excellence in trucking.
The company says the indigenously developed, versatile engine is highly fuel efficient and reliable, which will power Tata trucks in 19-42 tonne range for multiple applications across categories. It says the engine is perfectly suited for rapidly growing e-commerce, logistics, parcel and courier segments. It has been rigorously tested for over 30 lakh km and 70,000 cumulative hours across diverse duty cycles and harsh terrains. The Turbotronn 2.0 is fully compliant with the BS6 Phase 2 emission norms, is platform-agnostic and offered with Signa, Ultra, LPT and cowl platform and comes with a warranty of 6 years/6 lakh km.
The 5-litre turbocharged diesel engine is offered in multiple states of tune ranging from 180-204 PS and engineered to offer a flatter torque curve in the range of 700-850 Nm for better drivability. With longer oil drain and service intervals of 1 lakh km, its distinctive attributes ensure more vehicle uptime to generate higher revenues.
Rajendra Petkar, President and CTO, Tata Motors said “The Turbotronn 2.0 is one of our most advanced internal combustion engines. Engineered with latest technologies, it enables trucks to cover longer distances in shorter time. Its robust performance and high fuel efficiency has set new industry benchmarks for trucking in India.”
Rajesh Kaul, Vice-President & Business Head – Trucks, Tata Motors said, “At Tata Motors, we closely partner with customers to make their businesses prosper. The Turbotronn 2.0 has been developed with extensive inputs from transporters and provides them with an edge in the highly competitive industry. Its superior value proposition makes trucking more seamless, efficient and reliable resulting in higher revenues and lower costs.
As part of a reliability test, Tata Motors kick-started a 30-day endurance run with its Tata Ultra T.19, powered by the Turbotronn 2.0 engine. The aim was to do a non-stop run on the Golden Quadrilateral, a crucial national highway network connecting India’s metros establishing highest possible standards of durability and efficiency. The Tata Ultra T.19 not only completed 9 rounds of the Golden Quadrilateral successfully but also secured 9 records in both the India Book of Records and the Asia Book of Records.
