TATA-613 - owners reviews and technical specifications

One of the most profitable types of commercial vehicles, with the exception of GAZel, are three- and five-tonnages. These cars are widely used by Russian entrepreneurs in all areas of transportation. In the early 2000s, the Bulls and the German "Mercedes" were very popular. Over time, the list of trucks was replenished with a new car. They became the Indian truck TATA-613. The car is assembled in Ukraine, as well as in Russia, due to which it has a low cost. What is TATA-613? The owner's feedback, design and technical characteristics are described in our article.

Design

The car has a hatchless layout. The design of the truck is extremely simple. There is a minimum of smooth lines and exquisite shapes. The cabin is a large chopped square. The first trucks were equipped with black unpainted bumpers. But after 5 years the machine was restyling. In this form it is still produced. The manufacturer began to equip the TATU with colored bumpers, and also decorated the sidewalls of the doors and changed the grille. The design became a little brighter. However, the owners' reviews say that the exterior of the car remained in the 90s.

At the request of the customer a different body can be installed on the truck:

• Thermal.
• Board.
• Tilt.
• Manufactured goods.

Also produced a lot of municipal equipment on the basis of this truck and tow trucks.

Engine

Often TATU is called an Indian "Mercedes". Why? The whole point is that under the hood of the car is the German engine OM 352. This is a simple inline six without turbo. With a volume of 5.7 liters, this engine produces only 130 horsepower at two thousand revolutions. However, the reviews of the Tata LPT-613 owners state that the car has a good torque. So, at one and a half thousand turns it makes 416 Nanometers. Diesel is very tight.

Transmission

The power unit is paired with a five-speed manual gearbox. The transmission is equipped with synchronizers at all speeds and has a sliding gear for reverse.

Operational characteristics

As it is commercial transport, the measurements of dispersal to one hundred here are not regulated. But the maximum speed of the car is 110 kilometers per hour. The car is equipped with a 12-volt battery for 120 Amperes. Reviews of owners say that it is enough for winter operation. The box allows you to fit more capacitive batteries. As for fuel consumption, the figure is very ambiguous. The matter is that indicators of profitability directly depend on aerodynamics. And since carriers increase their bodies up to three meters in height, the consumption differs significantly from the passport data. The plant regulates the indicator of 16 liters on the highway and 18 in the city. But 40-cc TATS consume about 20 liters of diesel due to high sail.

Chassis of truck TATA

The car has a frame construction. The frame is a ladder type. The runners are made of a curved channel. What is remarkable, the front and rear of the car has a different track. So, this parameter is 165 and 157 centimeters respectively. The ground clearance at the truck is almost 20 centimeters. The machine easily overcomes storage potholes and makes its way along broken roads on the way to unloading. The suspension itself is a dependent type. The front and rear are semi-elliptic springs. Some craftsmen put the air suspension on the rear axle. However, the factory does not offer such an option for buyers. The steering is a rack, supplemented with a hydraulic amplifier. In the standard for the car TATA-613 is installed 16-inch Dneproshina. How does TATA-613 behave to her? Reviews of the owners say that the protector quickly wears off. If you do not re-balancing, begins to eat up "checkers". The most inexpensive and optimal option is the installation of Chinese rubber. It is not as "oak" as domestic, and even cheaper than European analogues.

Brakes

The braking system is a separate topic for conversations. Yes, it does not use pneumatic hydraulics - everything is controlled by air. But the sound, or rather the gnashing of the brakes, just makes the brain, as noted by the owners. TATA-613 has poor-quality drums. And not pads, but the drum mechanism itself. We have to change it to "foreign" or to put up with a wild screech. This is a problem for all TATA-613 trucks. The owners' comments say that the scrape is found on the products of the BAZ company. By the way, a special retarder is used as an auxiliary system. This is a big plus.

Conclusion

So, we found out what technical characteristics and reviews TATA-613 owners have. As you can see, the car is not devoid of shortcomings. But its price justifies all 100. The resource of the engine is more than half a million, besides it does not have a turbo. In the repair that the box that the motor is extremely simple. So, the cost of servicing the truck will be minimal.
