Driveline
Engine
Cummins ISBe 5.6

ISBe 5.6 is smaller version of Cummins ISBe 6.7. There used to be ISBe 5.9 engine in BS4

Displacement
5.6L

Compact than BS4 5.9L engine, yet capable of generating more power & torque

Cylinders
6

6 cylinder engine offers the reliability factor for those who are looking for non stop & heavy duty performance from the vehicle

Max. Power
188HP@2300rpm

BS6 version of the truck will offer better acceleration than BS4

Max. Torque
850Nm@1000-1600rpm

There is substantial increase in pulling & climbing ability in BS6 version. Downshifting frequency of gears will reduce

Fuel injection system
Cummins

Cummins ISBe 5.6 comes with Cummins own FIS for better control on warranty and service

Fuel efficiency Switch
3 Mode

Light, medium & heavy mode buttons for different load & gradient conditions for higher KMPL

Gear shift indicator

As power & torque nodes have changed in BS6, GSA will be quite useful in selection of right gears for higher KMPL

BS6 Norms
Pure SCR (Linear Module)

Non EGR strategy allows better diesel combustion and less soot emission

Clutch
380mm Organic

Same clutch continued from BS4

Gear Box
G950-6S (48,55,60WB) / G750-6S (68WB)

G-950 gearbox provides a better combination of pulling as well as running ability. G-750 has been provided for underload applications

FGR
G950- 9.36 / G750- 8.47

Higher FGR of 9.36 has been provided for better load pulling. Lower FGR of 8.47 has been provided for better underload movements on highways

Rear Axle
RA110LD

28T vehicle has been upgraded with axles that are getting used in Tata 35T & 42T trucks

Rear Axle Ratio
4.88 (48,55,60WB) / 5.12 (68WB)

Both shallower RAR will help in faster movement on highways as well as achieving higher KMPL

Chassis / Aggregates
Auxiliary Braking
Engine Exhaust Brake

Auxiliary downhill braking mechanism for safety and longer service brake liner life

Front Suspension
Parabolic leaf spring

Better cabin comfort & longer leaf life. No need of greasing due to rubber bushings

Rear Suspension
Bell crank with Semi elliptical leaf spring

Proven mechanism for heavy load on Indian roads. Bell cranks however usually have multiple of greasing points

Chassis Frame (DxWxT) in mm
285X65X8.5

1.5 mm thicker channel W.R.T BS4, but no selective reinforcement. The upgraded frame is expected to increase tyre life

Fuel Tank Capacity
365L/ 365L+200L (Optional) Polymer tank

Double fuel tank option is available on 32ft. Lesser stoppage for fuel refilling

AdBlue Tank Capacity
60L

Need to refill AdBlue at an interval of 5400 km (If KMPL is 4.5)

Tyre
295/90R20-Tube Tyres

1.6 inch wider & 1 inch taller (Dia) tube tyre in comparison to 10R20 for better road grip, longer tyre life and higher KMPL

Performance
Torque at wheel
17860Nm (4.88 RAR) / 16956Nm (5.12 RAR)

Considerable increase of TAW in BS6. Load pulling ability and gradeability has gone up in BS6
