Entry of the Force Motors' in the passenger vehicle segment with the Force One has opened new windows for the company. The two-wheel drive version that was in launched mid-2011 had cut the slack for Force Motors. However, a four wheel drive version was dearly needed. At the 2012 Delhi Auto Expo, Force also unveiled a four-wheel drive version of the SUV. The engine will be the same 2.2-litre Daimler mill that does duty in the existing two-wheel drive variant. The expected launch time of the 4x4 Force One is mid-2012.
Traveller-26 was also displayed by Force Motors when launched, will be the world’s largest monocoque van. A hybrid version of the Traveller is also on the cards, though there is no word on when it will be launched. The development of vehicles are in-house with claims of car-like ride and NVH levels, added safety features, best in class fuel economy and BSIV compliance. There was also a more premium Traveller Luxury van on display.
Also on show were the CNG versions of the Traveller and Trump which are best fit for urban areas where CNG infrastructure is limited. These aside, Force Motors also displayed the 223 PS MAN Airobus, a 45 seater Inter-City air-conditioned coach. The BSIII compliant coach is mated to a six-speed gearbox and would be available in the commercial market soon.
