Meet the most powerful truck from Tata Motors, a 1000 horsepower Prima

March 14, 2017 10:41 AM

Along with the Tata Motors T1 Prima Truck Racing Championship, the commercial vehicle arm of the Indian manufacturer will also showcase two 1000 hp Prima trucks that will eventually participate at international truck racing events

Tata Motors will be hosting the third edition of the T1 Prima Truck Racing Championship at which 19 race-spec trucks will compete with each other with drivers participating from all over the world. At this event, which is to be held on 18th and 19th March, 2017, the commercial vehicle arm of Tata Motors will showcase the engineering prowess of two new Prima trucks, each of them developing 1000 hp. In a recent conversation between the Hindu Business Line and Ravi Pisharody, Executive Director, Commercial Vehicles, Tata Motors, he said that, “The 1000 bhp Prima will be a showpiece during the T1 Prima Truck Racing Championship.” The 1000 hp truck took over a year of effort by the Jamshedpur plant's R&D team to come to life and according to Pisharody, the new truck may eventually participate at international truck racing platforms.

While the 19 trucks that would be competing through the different stages of the event will witness drivers from around the world, the occasion will also see the first woman truck racing driver, Stephanie Halm from Germany, competing with other racers. Stephanie has been in this profession since 2011 and in 2005, she also competed in the 24-hour race at Nurburgring. This year, the company will have a new team participating in the race, Team One World Racing. The rest of the competing teams would be Team Castrol Vecton, Team Cummins, Team Tata Technologies Motorsports, Team Dealer Warriors and Team Dealer Daredevils. The T1 Prima racing truck which would be used for by the 19 drivers generates 400 hp of power and has high-pressure water tanks that last about 45 minutes which are used to cool down the brakes during the race. The pressure in these water tanks remains between one to two bars and is calibrated as per the race.

The idea behind the event is to break the stereotype of truck drivers in India being a low paying occupation wherein there is no progress in terms of the professional ladder. The Indians who are participating in this season of the T1 Prima Truck Racing Championship and have done so, state that this event has been a game changer for them in terms of their social acceptance and perception. The last season's SUPER CLASS category winners, Nagarjuna A and Jagat Singh also stated at the roundtable held recently at the Buddh International Circuit that this has also changed the perception with their families as well as the society as the next progression for a trucker is to get into an international event like truck racing. The India drivers selected for this season of the T1 Prima Truck Racing Championship were trained at the Madras Motor Race Track in Sriperumbudur near Chennai. They will be competing in the PRO CLASS category of the event.

Mahindra isn't a "Jeep"... Only a "Jeep" is a "Jeep".


Mahindra only produces ww2 clones of the Willys 50 models.. The so called under powered,tin can Jeep wannabe vehicles like "thar" are shitty wannabe clones..

I've owned a Wrangler 2008.. And a Cj-5 74 (made in Pak during Ayubs regime .. Also produced in Iran at the same era).

A true Jeep junky won't even take a shyt at mahindra Tin cans.


Also a BMW X1 costs how much in India ? What is Rs 1520 lakh? 15 "lac" 20 thousands ?
It's priced almost 4.5 million in Pak..

Very gently, may I say that pride and ego are at play here.

I actually heard on a Pak. news analyst praising Indian parents lifelong frugal and belt tightening ways. The post independence India about is about 80 yrs. old, of which the vast middle class went to actually own a car where they could maybe be lucky to sit in one earlier, Enfield bike, Bajaj auto, a Mahindra or Tata bus is not just a 2, 3, 4 or 6 wheeler to the kids of the said parents who can now actually buy said products factory fresh form the showrooms. What a change in fortunes.

These are the evolutionary, parental belt-tightening and developing 'propah' Indian products taking on the world. A variation of the 'Indian' auto runs all over the developing world. If Bajaj and Vikram - the 2 auto majors of India had a free hand or the gumph, they could join with Uber and Didi to flood the world with these cheap public/pvt. transport vehicles and run the system out of a call center in say, Delhi-Mumbai suburbia.

Think of Hamdard Dawakhana's Rooh-Afh-Zaa rose cordial. It is an Indian brand by an Indian Co. but so transparently indigenous to Pak. that most don't know the difference. That's how the other Enfield-Bajaj-Mahindra-Tata brands are to Indians ... said brands are ubiquitous to the region and have reached out to other regions and continents like Middle-East and Africa.

So Indians take their Mahindra 'Jeep' personally, tin can or not! The Mahindra is the Bollywood item of thier parents time whihc they can actually aspire to. Most middle class Indinas have climbed on to 'jeeps' as rural trasnport vehicles specially in thier favorite Hill Stations. An Indian jeep is good enough for Indian conditions and ... hehe ... Indian people.

Technically spekaing, the Indian 'Jeep' is the cheapest 'Jeep' thrill in the world, all other jeeps are many tiems more expensive and derived from the same US Army spec.'s. The 'Jeep' brand was purloined by an American Corp. A proper and expensive challenge to the word in open American or even Indian court will restore the word jeep to the English language. After all, the 'Jeep" brand is now under the contorl of the Italians, n'est pas;)1

By the way, the real 'Jeep' now Made-in-India :):
