NEW DELHI :
Pune based automotive major Force Motors (India’s largest van maker) puts on a formidable display with three grounds-up new platforms. Also, on display is a 100% electric variant on their flagship Traveller platform. In addition to showcasing complete vehicles, Force Motors displayed the range of engines produced for leading world majors like Mercedes, BMW and Rolls-Royce Power Systems.
The star attraction of the stall is no doubt the next generation shared mobility platform that was unveiled a fortnight back at Pune. Code named the T1N, this new platform has been simultaneously designed and developed for both Internal Combustion Engines and 100% Electric Drive. Both the Diesel and the 100% electric variant are on display.
The T1N is the first vehicle in this category in the country offering crash compliance with air bags for driver and co-driver. With a score of segment first features the T1N will help reinforce the leadership position of Force Motors in the large van segment.
The T1N platform has been developed with global aspirations, it is design protected for plying in select markets of Middle East, Africa, ASEAN and South America where the T1N is expected to be an excellent value proposition vis a vis high premium products from Europe, Far East and USA.
Also, on display are two buses built on the next generation modular monocoque bus platform which has been fully developed in house by the R&D team at Force Motors. On account of its monocoque construction, these buses are the lightest and yet structurally stronger than comparable buses offering superior fuel economy. On account of the monocoque construction and C.E.D full body immersion process for primer application these buses offer best in class durability. A 51-seater (first of its kind) and the school bus variant of the 33-seater Traveller Monobus range are on display.
The popular people mover in the hinterland TRAX gets a total makeover. Three variants on this grounds-up next generation modular utility vehicle platform were unveiled.
