FAQs on the 5L Turbotronn

Ask about on-road price, variant specs, dealers near you or finance. The trucks-india.com desk replies within one working day.
The Tata 1918 LPT 5L Turbotronn costs about Rs 22.99 lakh to Rs 25.11 lakh ex-showroom. On-road price is higher because RTO tax, insurance and registration get added on top, and those change by state. Ask two or three dealers in your city, because discounts differ.
The Tata 1918 LPT 5L Turbotronn gives about 6 kmpl. Your actual figure depends on load, road condition and driving style. With a 365 litre tank, that is roughly 2,190 km on one full tank.
Rated payload is 12,500 kg. Gross vehicle weight is 18,500 kg, which is the truck plus the load together. Stay inside this figure. Overloading breaks springs and tyres early and invites fines at the check post.
The Tata 1918 LPT 5L Turbotronn uses a 5,000 cc diesel engine, 177 HP, 700 Nm of torque. It meets BS VI norms.
Gross vehicle weight is 18,500 kg, or about 18.5 tonnes. GVW is the total allowed weight of the truck plus body plus goods, and it decides which licence and permit you need.
It is mainly used for parcel, courier, construction material and cold storage. If your daily load and route match that kind of work, this truck fits.
It comes with a 6 Speed manual gearbox. A manual gearbox keeps the running cost and the repair bill lower, and most workshops can handle it.
Air conditioning is not listed as standard on this version. Some dealers fit it as an accessory, so ask for the price before you book.
It has 6 tyres in a 6x2 layout. Tyre size is 295 / 90 R 20 (Radial).
Tata Motors gives a manufacturer warranty on this truck. The exact months and kilometre limit change by model and state, so get it in writing from your dealer at the time of booking.
The closest options at this size are Ashok leyland 1916 HH 4x2 (18,500 kg GVW, from about Rs 23 lakh), Eicher Pro 2118 (18,000 kg GVW, from about Rs 23 lakh) and Bharat Benz 1917R (18,500 kg GVW, from about Rs 24.11 lakh). Compare payload, mileage and the service network on your own route before you decide, because those three decide your cost per km more than the sticker price does.
The Tata 1918 LPT 5L Turbotronn has a GVW of 18,500 kg, above the 7,500 kg light motor vehicle limit, so the driver needs a heavy goods vehicle transport licence. An ordinary LMV (car) licence does not cover it.
