Tata Prima

Tata Prima is Tata's flagship heavy truck range, launched in 2008 as the company's first "global" truck. It is the one people buy when the driver is going to live in the cab. Tata Prima truck prices start from ₹32.60 lakh for the Tata Prima 4040.K to ₹1.10 crore for the electric Tata Prima E.55 S, ex-showroom. Most diesel models sit between ₹32 lakh and ₹68 lakh. The badge tells you the job. The first two digits are the tonnage class and the next two are engine power in hundreds of horsepower — a 2830 is a 28-tonne truck with about 300 hp. A .K suffix means a tipper with the body fitted. A .S means a bare tractor unit that pulls a trailer. That is why a 46-tonne tractor can cost less than a 28-tonne tipper. Engines are mostly Cummins. Cabins are air-conditioned, with sleeper options. The range is now available in diesel, electric and hydrogen fuel options.
