One of the major requirements of a connected world is having seamless transportation that allows for goods to be transferred from one location to another. In a country as vast as India, this connectivity primarily happens via roadways and the heroes of the journey are trucks and heavy vehicles that transport goods and essentials across the nation.
Keeping this lifeline in mind, Tata Motors has launched the all-new Tata Signa 3118.T that promises not one or two but six superb reasons to upgrade from your current truck. If you’re a business owner worried over rising fuel costs and are looking for ways to enhance your profits, keep reading as we tell you why you need this beast of a truck from Tata Motors.

The vehicle also comes with 12.5-tonne dual tyre lift axle configuration – a marked high point for white space in the M&HCV segment. It can operate at 31-tonne GVW with the lift axle down and at 18.5-tonne GVW with the lift axle up, offering a large band of operating payload for various application needs.
The truck’s beating heart features the bestselling Cummins ISBe 5.6 CR 186 HP engine, with Cummins’ own fuel injection system that delivers up to 186 horsepower, guaranteeing performance that is sure to leave all other similar-sized trucks far behind.
