Ask about on-road price, variant specs, dealers near you or finance. The trucks-india.com desk replies within one working day.
The TATA ULTRA T.16 costs about Rs 26.28 lakh to Rs 28.68 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.16 gives about 6.5 kmpl. Your actual figure depends on load, road condition and driving style. With a 60 litre tank, that is roughly 390 km on one full tank.
Rated payload is 18,500 kg. Gross vehicle weight is 16,140 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.16 uses a 3,300 cc diesel engine, 157 HP, 475 Nm of torque. It meets BS VI norms.
Gross vehicle weight is 16,140 kg, or about 16.14 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 e-commerce, textile, industrial goods and FMCG. 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 9R20-16PR Low CRR 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 Boss 1615 (16,140 kg GVW, from about Rs 26 lakh), Bharat Benz 1617RD (15,900 kg GVW, from about Rs 26.3 lakh) and MAN CLA 16.250 EVO 4x2 (16,200 kg GVW, from about Rs 25 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 ULTRA T.16 has a GVW of 16,140 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.
