Tata Motors, India's largest commercial vehicle manufacturer, has introduced its technologically advanced engine, Turbotronn 2.0. Fuel-efficient and reliable, this indigenously developed engine will power Tata trucks in the 19-42-ton range for multiple applications across categories.
Suited for rapidly growing e-commerce, logistics, parcel, and courier segments, the Turbotronn 2.0 engine is designed to address specific needs expressed by customers, offers enhanced driving experience, and is engineered to deliver robust performance with the inherent benefit of lowering Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). It has been rigorously tested for over 30 lakh km and 70,000 cumulative hours across diverse duty cycles and harsh terrains. Fully compliant with the BS6 Phase 2 emission norms, the Turbotronn 2.0 is platform-agnostic, offered with Signa, Ultra, LPT and cowl platforms, and comes with a warranty of 6 years and 6 lakh km.
A 5-litre turbocharged diesel engine, the efficient and versatile Turbotronn 2.0 is offered in multiple states of tune ranging from 180-204 PS and engineered to offer a flatter torque curve in the range of 700-850 Nm for better drivability. With longer oil drains and service intervals of 1 lakh km, its distinctive attributes ensure more vehicle uptime to generate higher revenues.
Rajendra Petkar, President and Chief Technology Officer, Tata Motors, said, "The Turbotronn 2.0 is one of our most advanced internal combustion engines. Engineered with the latest technologies, it enables trucks to cover longer distances in a shorter time. Its robust performance and high fuel efficiency have set new industry benchmarks for trucking in India."
Rajesh Kaul, Vice President & Business Head, Trucks, Tata Motors, said, "At Tata Motors, we closely partner with customers to make their businesses prosper. The Turbotronn 2.0 has been developed with extensive input from transporters and provides them with an edge in the highly competitive industry. Its superior value proposition makes trucking more seamless, efficient, and reliable, resulting in higher revenues and lower costs."
As part of a reliability test, Tata Motors kick-started a 30-day endurance run with its Tata Ultra T.19, powered by the Turbotronn 2.0 engine. The aim was to do a non-stop run on the Golden Quadrilateral, a crucial national highway network connecting India's metros, establishing the highest possible standards of durability and efficiency. The Tata Ultra T.19 not only completed nine rounds of the Golden Quadrilateral successfully but also secured nine records in both the India Book of Records and the Asia Book of Records. These extraordinary achievements were made possible by the efficient and reliable Turbotronn 2.0 engine-powered Tata Ultra T.19, marking a significant milestone in the realm of commercial vehicles.
