Vehicle also offers additional safety features like Driver Monitoring System (DMS), Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).
The new Prima range also comes with more ergonomically redesigned cabin offering better driving comfort and with best-in-class conveniences and features for enhanced driver and vehicle safety.
These purposeful enhancements were made in collaboration with stakeholders across the entire logistics value chain with the objective of enabling higher productivity, especially during long hauls. An in-depth study was conducted to curate insights from transporters, drivers as well as end customers following which the design and engineering teams at Tata Motors worked holistically to add a range of cutting-edge technologies to create another new benchmark.
