OVERVIEW
With the upcoming of BS- 6 engines, we are seeing several new models making their place into the market. Tata has launched a 30-ton tractor-trailer 3021.s BS-6. This trailer belongs to the modular ultra series of Tata. This truck has successfully marked its presence in the market. Car-like features and a robust BS-6 compliant engine is what attract you towards this TATA 3021.s Bs-6. TBI has bought you all details about TATA 3021.S BS-6 in this Review.
Engine
TATA Ultra 3021.s BS-VI is powered by 4 cylinders 5-litre Turbotronn engine that produces 200 horsepower @ 2000 RPM and 850 Newton meters of peak torque @ 1100-1600RPM. 6-speed manual transmission with gear shift indicator in the instrument cluster promises more comfort in exporting this power to the wheels. The gear lever is mounted on a dashboard itself which makes the cable a walk through cabin.
Gearbox and Clutch
The 380 mm diameter push type single plate dry friction organic lining clutch is easy to operate. It is not very heavy or soft but perfect for this segment.
Tata G750 gearbox with 6 forward and 1 reverse gear manual synchromesh gearbox is smooth. You will enjoy shifting gears with the cable assisted shifts from the dashboard-mounted gear lever.
Axel and Suspension
- AXLE TYPE: 6T Reverse Elliot Front Axle
- 10.2T Banjo Type Single Reduction Rear Axle
- Parabolic leaf spring suspension at the front
- Semi elliptical multi-leaf spring suspension at the rear
now this means sometime if you fall into a sharp bump or run over a nonsense speed breaker you don’t have to worry about anything being damaged(luck matters). The abuse of overload too can be tolerated up to a certain limit. Also, we are familiar with the TATA’s suspension and Axel setup. They are one of the most reliable in the market.
Cabin-Interiors
Cab and cowl both options available, here we will talk from the Sleeper Cab Cabin point of view. The cabin feels like that of an SUV car and much more premium than what is normal in the industry. All the seat feels comfortable and we get a fixed headrest for driver and CO Driver which is good then halfback seats. Once you get into the cabin you will realize that you are sitting in an SUV with a high sitting position. The cabin is well built. It has got a touch screen music system, AC options, and an All-new instrument cluster.

Final View
According to Tata, this truck is best suited for applications like auto logistics, E-commerce, and voluminous applications. In my opinion, this truck is exclusive to the 30-Ton GVW segment from TATA motors and offers all the premium features along with efficiency and reliability. The cabin may feel small for a long haul driver but is sufficiently large enough to make things work. The modern design looks great to this truck and grabs a lot of attention. This is not the truck if overloading is in your mind but certainly the first choice if you are looking for a modern truck with more uptime and trust with fewer visits to the service center. You can definitely go forward and buy this blue horse from the Home of TATA motors. You will not regret this decision as you are buying #deshkatruck TATA TRuck.
waiting for the review unit from TATA to give you a more clear idea about the performance and whatnot. Till then wear a helmet, wear a seatbelt use low beam, and renew your insurance before time.
