The Tata Ultra T.12 costs about Rs 21 lakh to Rs 22.99 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 Ultra T.12 gives about 8 kmpl. Your actual figure depends on load, road condition and driving style. With a 160 litre tank, that is roughly 1,280 km on one full tank.
Rated payload is 8,530 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 Ultra T.12 uses a 3,300 cc diesel engine, 153 HP, 450 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 fish, lpg cylinder, auto carrier and industrial goods transportation. 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 4x2 layout. Tyre size is 245/75 R 17.5.
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 Tata Ultra T.12 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.
