When was Tata Magic CNG Launched in India? Tata Magic CNG: India’s eco-friendly,mass transit superstar

Distinct Features of Tata Magic turning it into a Superior Passenger Vehicle in India:

Tata Magic CNG has a dedicated water cooled CNG engine with multi-point gas injection producing a maximum torque of 49Nm@2200r/min facilitating motion on different roads. CNG burns cleaner than petroleum based products because of its reduced carbon content.

For safety, waterproof connectors are installed in the wiring circuits to prevent short circuits during monsoons.

 Magic CNG reduces the maintenance cost as it does not dilute or pollute crankcase oil, so the service interval for oil change gets extended. This ensures a prolonged life span of Tata Magic CNG engines and reduces the overall maintenance cost.

The 6-7 seating capacity of Tata Magic CNG contains wide cushioned seats, enough legroom, ensuring a relaxed journey.

Tata Magic CNG delivers a top speed of 77kmph and a ground clearance of 160 mm, which also accounts for its success as a swift passenger vehicle.

Before embarking into the commercial trucking business, gain knowledge about the estimated operating costs, legal traffic Acts, license fees, vehicle schedules, toll fees, maintenance and other relevant terms.

Gathering Funds: With the necessary expertise and security to start the trucking business, you can seek financial assistance from the commercial banks for investing in the vehicles.
