Tata Motors has introduced a new range of Super Milo bus chassis across the country. As the name suggests, the Super Milo range of superior operating economy is available in two variants – City and Highway – each with customised parameters calibrated for their individual applications.Both the variants are powered by the BS II-compliant 697 TCIC 130 hp engine. The higher power and better torque at a lower engine rpm – 130 HP@2400 rpm and a torque of 410 Nm@1400-1700 rpm – result in better pick-up and more mileage.
Mr. P.M. Telang, Tata Motors Executive Director – Commercial Vehicles Business Unit, said: “The Super Milo bus range is yet another tailor-made product aimed at meeting changing customer requirements. In a scenario of rising fuel and input prices, this range offers better fuel efficiency and lower maintenance costs, resulting in higher profitability to the operator. Customers can now choose between the City and Highway variants depending on their business needs, road conditions and terrain.”
Mr. R. Pisharody, Vice President – Sales & Marketing, Commercial Vehicles Business Unit, said the Super Milo range of bus chassis offers the customer an attractive value proposition with its combination of unique features and superior technical specifications at an unbeatable price.
The key features of the Super Milo bus range include exclusive drivelines (gear box & rear axle) for different applications, helping customers choose the relevant variant depending on the application; radial tyres – for better comfort, safety and mileage; organic clutch with booster assist – for longer clutch life, enhanced driver comfort and reduced driver fatigue; bigger air intake system, for proper combustion of fuel and hence better fuel mileage; and improved oil change period of 18,000 km for city and 36,000 km for highway applications, resulting in lower maintenance costs. All these together offer 8-10 per cent higher fuel efficiency and comfortable ride.
The Super Milo bus range, launched nationwide, comes with an engine warranty of two years or two lakh km (whichever is earlier) and a chassis warranty of 1.5 years or 1.5 lakh km (whichever is earlier). The vehicle price ranges from Rs. 8.5 lakhs (ex-showroom Delhi).
