We are confident Super Carry will enhance the profitability of our customers.”  He added, “Super Carry will be initially available for sale in three cities: Ahmedabad, Kolkata and Ludhiana. It will be retailed through a dedicated ‘Commercial’ sales channel.”  Super Carry will be available in diesel fuel option and comes in two widely preferred colours: Superior White and Silky Silver.  The Company has invested about Rs. 300 Crores towards the development of Super Carry.

Superior Performance

Super Carry is powered by the 793 cc light weight and compact, 2-cylinder diesel engine. With a peak power of 24 KW @ 3500 RPM and max torque of 75 NM @ 2000 RPM Super Carry offers better load carrying capacity and pick up. The compact engine mated with the 5-speed manual transmission offers high fuel efficiency of 22.07 Km per litre and maximum speed of 80 Kmph.  That means shorter turnaround time, more trips and more savings.

Super Carry offers an impressive payload of 740 Kg in all terrains. It is equipped with a lighter steering wheel, contributing to effortless drive even at full load. This leads to comfortable driving with less fatigue. Super Carry has longer wheel base of 2110 mm for greater stability. The lower loading bay and wider deck offers ample loading space to carry higher loads in a single trip. All these result in more number of trips and better earnings for the customer.
