Tata Motors Introduces Air Conditioning Systems Across Entire Truck Range
India's largest commercial vehicle manufacturer expands factory-fitted AC systems to all truck models including cowls for first time
Tata Motors has launched factory-fitted air conditioning systems across its complete truck portfolio, marking the first time such systems will be available on cowl models. The upgrade covers the company's SFC, LPT, Ultra, Signa, and Prima cabin ranges.
The air conditioning systems feature dual-mode operation with Eco and Heavy settings designed to provide cooling while maintaining energy efficiency. Tata Motors has also increased power output across its heavy truck, tipper, and prime mover lineup to 320 horsepower.
Rajesh Kaul, Vice President and Business Head for Trucks at Tata Motors Commercial Vehicles, said the introduction addresses regulatory requirements while incorporating customer feedback. The company designed the upgrades to minimize impact on total cost of ownership for fleet operators.
The enhanced truck models include fuel efficiency features such as automatic engine idle shut-off and voice messaging systems for real-time alerts. These additions are part of Tata Motors' strategy to improve driver working conditions and increase productivity.
Tata Motors operates as India's market leader in commercial vehicles and ranks among the top three passenger vehicle manufacturers. The company is part of the $165 billion Tata Group and reported $44 billion in revenue.
The manufacturer supports its vehicle portfolio through a network of over 3,000 service touchpoints and its Sampoorna Seva 2.0 program, which provides maintenance contracts, roadside assistance, and spare parts access. The company also operates Fleet Edge, a connected vehicle platform for fleet management.
Tata Motors maintains operations in India, the UK, South Korea, Thailand, and Indonesia, with vehicle sales extending to Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, Southeast Asia, and SAARC countries. As of March 2024, the company's structure included 90 consolidated subsidiaries, two joint operations, five joint ventures, and multiple equity-accounted associates.
