Force Motors Traveller Variant


Force Motors, the market leader in large vans category, showcased six smart mobility solutions on the Traveller to serve tomorrow’s India. A pioneer in the field of light transport that gave India iconic brands like the Tempo, the Matador and the Minidor continues with its founder’s vision of harnessing the latest technology, anticipating the changing requirements and developing appropriate solutions for India.

The two star attractions at the show were the luxurious 15 seater Traveller Royale and the 9 seater Traveller Super. Both these vehicles come with factory fitted air conditioning, luxurious reclining seats, larger sealed glass windows, ABS, EBD and air suspension (offered for the first time in this category). The Traveller with its one tonne lighter pressed steel body, monocoque construction, outstanding structural Strength and unmatched durability will make these vehicles a game changer in small group luxury travel.


These will be a boon to Tour and Travel operators who are unable to offer luxury travel to the Tier II and Tier III city customers because operating the large 12m inter-city coaches are unviable. The Traveller range is powered by the proven Mercedes derived common rail engines, matching gear boxes with cable shift and molybdenum coated ground gears that offer unmatched performance and 10% better fuel efficiency than competition.

The 21 seater Traveller Smart Citibus is ideal as a feeder bus to and from the Metro stations in megacities like Delhi and Mumbai. This Traveller Smart Citibus will be the preferred mode of travel in smaller cities with population up to 5 lakhs. 90% of the 100 smart cities identified by the Government under the Smart Cities Mission fall in the “under 5 lakh” population category.

The 21 seater Traveller Smart Citi Bus meets all Urban Bus Specifications and comes with intelligent electronic passenger information system, driver operated jack knife doors, full standing height of 6 feet, wide gangway for standees making it best for intra city commutes. The main benefit of these buses are it will be viable to operate in smaller towns with low density routes and in congested areas where operating the large 12m buses are economically unfeasible.


The Traveller First Responder Vehicle (FRV) and the Traveller Four Stretcher Advanced Life Support Ambulance will provide much needed support for disaster management and relief.

The Traveller First Responder as the name suggests will be the first to reach the site of accident and using the ‘state of the art’ fire-fighting and rescue equipment help extricate victims quickly. The First Responder is equipped with Hydraulic Cutters, Spreaders, Jacks, Chain Saws, and Cordless Saws. It also has on board a generator, compressor to power the hydraulic and battery operated tools including the telescopic lights and quick up ladder. Unlike most disaster management vehicles that are built on the heavy trucks that are slower and not very maneuverable, the Traveller First Responder on account of its compact size and powerful Mercedes derived power train will be able to reach the site earlier.


The Traveller Four Stretcher Ambulance can transport four victims at a time to the nearest hospital. Force Motors is the first to develop an ambulance that has four stretchers laid out on the same level enabling attending to all the four patients at the same time. The Advanced Life Support equipment installed ensures medical assistance in transit during the crucial golden hour and help save lives. It also has a vehicle tracking, navigation and surveillance facility for planning the route and monitoring progress. On board cameras can stream live video footage to the hospital control room so that they are fully aware of the patients’ condition and are well prepared by the time the ambulance reaches the hospital.



Force Motors also showcased the newly developed advanced 3, 4 and 5 Cylinder BSIV compliant Common Rail Engines that will power its new generation SCVs, MUVs and LCVs.
