UNITISED FUEL INJECTION PUMP
6 individual fuel pumps, one for each cylinder, inject precise quantity of fuel at a
high pressure of 1800 bar. This ensures better combustion of fuel, delivering unmatched
fuel efficiency.
FLAT TORQUE CURVE
Peak torque is available over a wide range of engine speeds and high torque is
available even at lower engine speeds - this reduces the need for frequent gear shifts
and improves fuel efficiency.
HIGH BOOST PRESSURE TURBO CHARGER
Turbo charger with 1.8 bar boost pressure allows more air through the air inlet, thus
increasing volumetric efficiency and power output.
OVERDRIVE GEARBOX
This allows the vehicle to cruise at sustained speeds with reduced rpm, leading to
better fuel efficiency on the highways.
CONSTANT THROTTLE VALVE ENGINE BRAKE
A constant throttle valve on the engine bypasses compressed air when the engine brake
is on. The Electronic Control Unit (ECU) senses this and cuts fuel
injection into the engine. This not only saves the engine from overrunning, but also
saves fuel while the vehicle runs with its exhaust brake activated.
VARIABLE GREEN BAND
Variable green band (for engine rpm) in the instrument cluster intelligently senses the
optimal operating band for the vehicle and gives constant indication to the driver
about economical driving. This ensures that the vehicle operates in the most fuel
efficient rpm range and is driven at the right speed and gear.
AERODYNAMIC CABIN DESIGN
Cabins, designed for lower aerodynamic resistance, ensure lower burning of fuel to
maintain the momentum of the vehicle.
ENGINE
BharatBenz engines are designed for higher efficiency and longer life. Its fuel
injection system comprises of 6 independent unitised injection pumps lubricated by
engine oil, thus enhancing its durability. Other features like inductive hardening at
crankshaft journals, noise optimal crankcase and Electronic Control Unit enhance the
reliability of the engine.
CLUTCH
BharatBenz rigid vehicles have a large clutch plate diameter of 395 mm. This ensures
more contact area for better power transmission and lower slippage. Also, a higher wear
depth of 3.5 mm results in longer life and less maintenance.
GEARBOX
The strong and durable gearbox has a higher centre distance of 130 mm between main
shaft and counter shaft. This provides for bigger and stronger gears with more contact
area, thus increasing gear life.
CHASSIS
Higher depth of 284 mm and higher web width of 70 mm along with full depth cross member
provide chassis stiffness, thus improving the vehicle's stability and load bearing
ability. The frame of the chassis is shot blasted and powder coated to increase its
surface strength and make it long-lasting.
REAR SUSPENSION
BharatBenz rigid vehicles have a simple balancer type rear suspension that helps
transfer higher reaction on the drive axle, thus ensuring better traction and minimal
slippage. This in turn improves the load carrying ability of the vehicle. This
suspension has lesser number of moving parts, and hence is low on maintenance and more
reliable.
REAR AXLE
It is a heavy-duty banjo type axle which ensures strength and durability. A larger face
width of crown wheel allows more contact area which ensures longer life. Low reduction
ratio enables lower torque step down, again increasing life of crown wheel and
pinion.
FASTEST PICK-UP
Engines with higher power enable better pick-up and smooth acceleration. This is
essential in city operations or in start-stop traffic conditions encountered while
entering any major urban centre. Trips can be completed in lesser time resulting in
more trips and more revenue.
GRADEABILITY
The true test of a truck's performance lies in its ability to negotiate hilly terrain
and its load-carrying capacity. A much higher power to weight ratio gives BharatBenz
trucks outstanding gradeability, enabling them to effortlessly navigate the most
hostile road conditions and easily climb gradients even with full load.
SHORTER TURNING CIRCLE DIAMETER
Wheel lock angle of 45o ensures that the turning circle diameter is very
short. The vehicle can easily navigate sharp turns, hairpin bends and narrow
lanes.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)
ABS improves vehicle control and reduces stopping distance on wet and slippery
surfaces, thus ensuring safety.
SIDE IMPACT BEAM AND 3 PIECE STEEL BUMPER
The Side impact beam and 3 piece steel bumper adds further strength to the cabin to
keep the driver safe at all times.
CRASH TESTED CABIN
Ensures survival space for cabin crew in case of emergencies
COMFORTABLE CABIN:
Ergonomically designed cabin.
Sleeper cab with wide berth.
Most comfortable driving position: 3 way adjustable seat (reclining, horizontal
and vertical) along with tilt and telescopic steering.
Twin co-driver seat.
Fully sealed cabin: Cuts off vehicle noise and reduces driver fatigue.
Easy entry into cabin with wide doors opening to almost
90o.
INTELLIGENT INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
Ideally positioned with clear visibility, the instrument cluster provides plenty
of useful
information like trip mileage, neutral and reverse gearindication, distance to empty
fuel, etc.
INCREASED VENTILATION
Forced ventilation with blowers and optional air-conditioning. Improved knee and waist level
ventilation. Bigger rear sliding windows provide for better cross ventilation inside the cabin
EASY GEAR SHIFTING
Simplified gear shift arrangement with ball joint mechanism and double synchrocone
ensures smoother and precise gear shifting, giving you a car-like feel.
FULLY SUSPENDED CABIN WITH PARABOLIC FRONT SUSPENSION
Parabolic suspension with wider mounting span improves drive quality and reduces driver
fatigue.
