New MHCV Range of Tata Trucks
Confused with the new names of Tata trucks? Here in this article, we decode the new names of Tata trucks that have been introduced in the MHCV market recently.
The government’s regulation of increased axle loading norms for heavy trucks has resulted in an increase of GVW and payload capacity of MHCV trucks above 16.2 tons. It is a big boost to the trucking industry and is likely to reduce the transportation cost of goods. Overloading has been a menace in India resulting in deterioration of roads and an increasing number of accidents. The revised axle loading norms are being brought to match with international standards and also to curb the heavy overloading practice currently prevailing.
As a result of the new norms, two-axle trucks with earlier GVW of 16.2 tons will now have a maximum GVW of 18.5 tons. Similarly, 3 axle trucks in 6x2 configuration will now have a maximum gross weight of 28 tons instead of earlier 25 tons. 4 axle trucks in 8x2 configuration will now have a max capacity of 35 tons instead of 31 tons earlier. And 14 wheeler 5 axle trucks, which earlier offered a GVW of 37 tons now offer 42 tons. Similarly for tractor trailers reaching up to a maximum of 55 tons.
