Tata Motors has launched a new commercial vehicle called Intra, claimed to be India’s first compact truck. Available in V10 and V20 variants, the Intra’s price starts at Rs 5.35 lakh, ex-showroom.
The company said that the Intra is a result of extensive market research and customer feedback. According to Girish Wagh, President – Commercial Vehicle Business Unit, the Intra is ideal for customers who want to upgrade their commercial vehicles for higher business returns and lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
The SCV offers 2512 mm x 1602 mm load body length, claimed to be the best in class. Built on a hydroformed frame, the Intra is comparatively lighter, the company said.
The car-like interiors of the Intra feature a digital instrument cluster, phone charging point, lockable glove box, storage on dashboard & door trims, integrated headrests, and seatbelts with ELR (Emergency Locking Retractor). The gear lever is mounted on the dashboard for better ergonomics and comfort.
For a fatigue-free driving experience, the premium version offers a pre-fitted music system and manual AC with rotary knobs.
The company said that the front and rear rigid axles and leaf springs ensure superior load carrying capability and low cost of maintenance.
Power steering is standard; 4.75 m turning radius
The Intra is powered by diesel engines that are scalable to BS VI norms. The Intra V20 is powered by a 1400 cc DI engine with 52 kW (70 hp), while an 800 cc DI motor with 30 kW (40 hp) powers the Intra V10. Both engines are paired to a 5-speed gearbox with cable shift mechanism.
