Tata Motors today unveiled its new offerings based on the Ace platform – the Super Ace and the Ace EX – as well as the new 407 pickup truck. According to Tata Motors, these new products will vitalize the sub-one-tonne to three-tonne segment with more payload options and greater power, to suit customer requirements.

The Tata Super Ace is fitted with a four-cylinder, 475 IDI turbocharged, intercooled diesel engine that produces 70 horsepower and which can propel the mini truck to a claimed top speed of 125km/h! The vehicle has a payload of 1,000 kilos, a large load deck of 8-feet and 7-inches, a comfortable cabin, power steering and bucket seats, and comes with a 12-month/50,000km warranty.

The Tata Ace EX offers 6-10% better mileage than the current Ace and gets new bits like a five-speed gearbox, wider tyres, more ground clearance and amazingly enough, stop-start technology! The Ace EX comes with a 12-month/36,000km warranty.

The new 407 Pickup has a payload of 2.25 tonnes, which, according to Tata Motors, is nearly double the payload of any other pickup vehicle in the market. The vehicles needs to be serviced only at intervals of 20,000km and comes with a 36-month/300,000km warranty.
