Tata Motors, India’s largest automobile manufacturer and one of the top 10 commercial vehicle manufacturers globally, launched its “World-Smart Truck” brand — the Tata PRIMA — in Saudi Arabia.
A next-generation range of heavy-duty commercial vehicles from Tata Motors, the Tata PRIMA will set new benchmarks in styling and features a combination of power, world-class performance, fuel efficiency, superior technology and safety, uncompromisingly built for long-distance and long hours of transportation.
Developed with Tata Motors subsidiary Tata Daewoo Commercial Vehicles (TDCV), the Tata PRIMA range is designed and developed with technical inputs from across the world, hence is referred to as the “World-Smart Truck.”
The Tata PRIMA is based on an Italian cab design, with engine technology from the US, gearbox expertise from the US and Germany, chassis frame know-how from Mexico and sheet metal dies from Japan and Korea, combined with Swedish precision on a robotic weld line.
Tata Motors unveiled two new PRIMA heavy-duty trucks in the Kingdom — the PRIMA 4438.S (4X2) tractor head and the PRIMA 4038.K (6X4) construction tipper, with Saudi dealer-partner, Manahil International Company, a unit of Mohamed Yousuf Naghi & Brothers group (MYNM).
Ravindra Pisharody, executive director, Commercial Vehicles Business Unit, Tata Motors, said: “The launch of our next-generation range of Tata PRIMA heavy-duty commercial vehicles is an important milestone in our journey toward further enriching the value trucking proposition, in one of the largest construction and infrastructure hubs in the Middle East.
“Shaped by technology know-how and expertise from across the globe, the Tata PRIMA is world-class in every sense, enabling customers to upgrade to a next-generation commercial vehicle, with the trusted credentials and reliability of the Tata Motors brand, as they ready themselves for the next wave of growth in the country’s logistics sector. As the country readies itself to become the largest construction and infrastructure destination in the world, we at Tata Motors are geared up to meet customers’ requirements of the market and will continue to introduce new products and solutions as we move forward.”
Rudrarup Maitra, head of International Business, Commercial Vehicles, Tata Motors, said: “We are delighted to launch our next-generation range of Tata PRIMA heavy-duty commercial vehicles here in the Kingdom today. The Tata PRIMA has been built based on over six decades of experience in the commercial vehicles business and has been introduced based on increasing customer preferences for a new-generation commercial vehicle with superior performance, and suitable for more trips and long duty cycles, with the benefits of lowest turnaround time.”
