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.
