PRIMA LX 3128.K HRT (Hub Reduction Tandem rear axle)
The
PRIMA 3128.K 19 CuM Scoop uses a 6.7-litre Cummins ISBe engine that generates a
maximum power of 284 PS and a peak power of 975 Nm. It features a
9-speed gearbox, a 19 CuM Scoop Hardox body, a heavy-duty 48T bogie suspension,
a Tata HRT 210 rear axle and 12X24 tyres. This model is designed for shallow
mining and surface applications such as road construction and irrigation.
Tata
PRIMA LX 2523.K RePTO (RMC)
The
PRIMA LX 2523.k RePTO 8 CuM RMC with RePTO is based on the Tata PRIMA platform
and is pushed by a Cummins ISBe 6.7-litre engine producing 233 PS that
is mated to a 9-speed Tata G1150 gearbox. The vehicle is touted to be fuel
efficient and is said to have lesser maintenance despite the higher payload.
The RMC (Ready-to Mix Concrete) unit is driven directly by the engine, which
allows the mixing to be carried out on the move as well as on stand still.
Tata
SAK 1613 4X4
The
Tata SAK1613 4×4 is a 4X4 16 ton GVW vehicle that gets a 10 cu. m and an 8.5
cu. m box body. It uses the Cummins B5.9 Engine with a 6-speed Direct drive
gearbox and a TC 2500 auxiliary gearbox. The truck gets a Tata RA 109 RR rear
axle with a deeper RAR of 6.83 for improved grade-ability of 25 percent, and a
FA 106 front axle for heavy duty applications and better off-road drivability.
The high grade-ability and off-road capabilities enable the SAK 1613 4X4 Tipper
to be suitable for hilly terrain applications.
Apart
from these, Tata Motors also showcased Tata LPTK 2518 6X2, Tata LPK 2518 10
CuM, Tata PRIMA 3138.K AT and Tata PRIMA LX 3123.K 22 CuM Box.
