FAQs on the LPK 1212
Still have questions?
Ask about on-road price, variant specs, dealers near you or finance. The trucks-india.com desk replies within one working day.
The Tata LPK 1212 costs about Rs 15 lakh to Rs 23 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 LPK 1212 gives about 5 kmpl. Your actual figure depends on load, road condition and driving style. With a 120 litre tank, that is roughly 600 km on one full tank.
Rated payload is 8,000 kg. Gross vehicle weight is 11,990 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 LPK 1212 uses a 3,300 cc diesel engine, 125 HP, 390 Nm of torque. It meets BS VI norms.
Gross vehicle weight is 11,990 kg, or about 11.99 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 construction material. If your daily load and route match that kind of work, this truck fits.
It comes with a 5 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 4x2 layout. Tyre size is 9 x 20 - 16PR.
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 SML Isuzu Samrat GS Diesel (10,700 kg GVW, from about Rs 15.47 lakh), Eicher Pro 2059 (10,250 kg GVW, from about Rs 15 lakh) and Ashok Leyland ecomet 1415 TE (14,050 kg GVW, from about Rs 17 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 LPK 1212 has a GVW of 11,990 kg, above the 7,500 kg light motor vehicle limit, so the driver needs a medium goods vehicle transport licence. An ordinary LMV (car) licence does not cover it.
