Team-BHP forum member v12 has
shared a new spy shot of what looks like the Force Trump LCV. The test mule was
spotted in Lonavala, Maharashtra. The new Force Trump LCV has a proper
bonnet that should allow for a bigger engine, leading to increased
applications.
The test mule has a cab design completely different
from that of the Trump 40 models currently on sale. It has a bonnet, which
could allow the company to plonk a bigger engine and thus expand its
applications. Like in the current model, the turn signals look separately
positioned above the headlamps.
The design of the cargo box suggests that it’s the
Hi-Deck version that is useful for purposes like tent house business, mineral
water distribution, newspaper distribution and more. The current Force Trump 40
Hi-Deck measures 4,395 mm in length, 1,580 mm in width and 1,580 mm in height.
It has a 2,750 mm wheelbase and 162 mm ground clearance. Its cargo box is 2,670
mm long, 1,480 mm wide and 2,750 mm high. The rated payload capacity is 1,070
kg.
No details about the new Force Trump LCV spotted on
test this month are available yet. The Force Trump 40 range employs the TD -
2000 F DI three-cylinder diesel engine that produces 39 hp at 2,600 rpm and 124
Nm of torque at 1,400-1,600 rpm. A four-speed manual transmission channels
power to the wheels. The new Force Trump LCV could be introduced next year.
