the world’s largest
monocoque van, ‘Travel-
ler-26’, made entirely
from high strength,
pressed steel body
parts, welded in a ro-
botic environment. The
new vehicle has been
designed, developed and
tooled up in-house by
Force Motors R&D.
The Traveller-26 is powered
by the Daimler-licensed common
rail, turbo inter-cooled engine,
which delivers 130Ps with 295
Nm torque, while the Daimler
licensed G-33/5 gearbox offers
low-friction, smooth transmis-
sion. The vehicle also has the
highest power-to-weight ratio in
its category. The best-in-class
fuel efficiency lowers operating
and maintenance costs.
The new Traveller-26 boasts
many firsts in its category. It has
a monocoque body from pressed
steel panels, with outstanding
