Tata ACE

Tata Ace india’s first four wheeler mini truck was launched in 2005. Tata amazed three wheeler majors like Bajaj and Piaggio with this ace. As expected ace is doing great business for Tata and ace has produced a new segment. Ace is reported to be selling 6,500 units a month. In March 2007, Tata rolled out its 1,00,000th Ace within 22 months of the launch of the Ace. The ace not only rocks the indian market but also exported to markets like srilanka and Nepal.

The company has developed several applications of the Tata ACE, such as water tanker, delivery van — box type (for high-volume low-weight cargo), delivery van — bodyline (for precious cargo and courier services), garbage tipper, D’Siltman (for desilting underground drainage and wells), dumper placer and ACE elevated platform. Tata ace is available at about Rs2,50,000. Tata Ace HT (High Torque), a special variant to deal with a wide variety of gradients, especially in the North Eastern region has also been recently launched.
