Indian TATA Vehicle Is Now Staff Car For The Bangladesh Army
The big old TATA Safari Storme, is now the official SUV of the Indian Army. The supply to Civil market of this has stopped. It is now only offered to the Indian Army and is being used by them as their official vehicle. TATA Motors is one of India’s older vehicle manufacturers. It makes both commercial vehicles (trucks and earth moving equipment) as well as passenger cars.
TATA Motors has been present in Bangladesh car market since 2012 and have been selling several models in the country. The Hexa model for which TATA has now received order from the Army is not available in Bangladesh as a private vehicle. It will get a army green paint scheme. TATA Motors earlier this year at the expo unveiled the BS6 version of the Hexa SUV. It will launched in the market, once the situation improves.
The Military will be getting the 4×4 version which only comes with a manual gearbox. The Hexa is powered by a 2.2 litre turbocharged diesel engine. The engine generates a maximum of 154 Bhp and 400 Nm of peak torque. The same engine and gearbox will be made available to the Bangladesh Army as well.
Tata Hexa is currently the flagship SUV from Indian manufacturer but its flagship status would soon be taken by the Gravitas SUV. Nevertheless, the Hexa is one of the most underrated car from the manufacturer.
The Hexa looks huge, has ample road presence, acres of space on the inside and a powerful engine. There’s even the 4×4 option on offer as well, along with a automatic gearbox option. Currently it is the only car sold by the manufacturer with a 4×4 option.
