The truck promises to deliver superior performance, increased payload capacity, high fuel efficiency, and durability, all leading to a significant increase in revenues and the lowest cost of operation to the discerning owners.
With a best in class, 2512 mm x 1602 mm load body length, the Tata INTRA comes in two variants – V10 and V20. The INTRA range starts from Rs. 5,35,000 onwards depending on the variant, thereby offering a superior value proposition to the discerning customers.
The Tata INTRA is powered by future-ready engines, which are scalable to the BS-VI norms.
