Tata Prima was Made to Conquer
Tata’s Prima 3s centre in Selayang was the base for our experience of the brand new Tata Prima 6X4. One of the drivers from DRB-Hicom Com- mercial Vehicles Sdn Bhd took us from Selayang to the hillsides of the Genting Highlands. During the entire journey, the road was a mixture of flat and hill road.
The truck model that Truck & Bus News was invited to test drive was the Tata Pri- ma 6x4, the cabin of which was spacious, with two seats in front of the truck and also a built-in double storey bed behind the seats.
According to DHCV’s technical supervi- sor, the Tata Prima was launched in Janu- ary 2015.
Safety features, driving comfort and fuel consumption are the main highlights in this model. The Tata Prima is a new gen- eration of medium and heavy commercial vehicles from Tata Motors conceptualised, designed and developed as a global truck.
In terms of safety features, there is a com- bination of Jake Brakes and an Anti Lock Braking System (ABS), to provide safety with lower stopping distances, high heat reduction, improved and longer brake life

When the Tata Prima 6X4 went downhill, the anti-roll system became operational. The driver does not need to step on the pedal, and the truck is able to brake and slow down automatically. The gear box is Double – H Shift Pattern, therefore, it offers ease in shift- ing and requires minimal driver training.
In addition, the 315R80/22.5 tubeless tyres with low aspect ratio are easily available for added convenience, while separate on/off tyres provide better grip and safety.
During the one hour test drive journey, we sat in the cabin. This was a totally new and special experience. The windscreen was wide, and we could see the view outside the truck very clearly.
Driving comfort was one of the main con- cerns when the manufacturer designed the truck. Due to the excellent insulation, engine and suspension, sitting in the cabin was very pleasurable and peaceful. The pneumatic suspended driver seats helped reduce driver fatigue.
The multi-purpose cabin features include a spacious head box and dashboard, multi-
