The tipper truck is powered by a Cummins-sourced ISBe 6.7-litre BS6 engine that makes about 250 bhp and develops a peak torque of 950 Nm from 1,000-1,700 rpm to ensure faster turnaround time. The powerful engine is mated to a heavy-duty G1150 9-speed gearbox, with 430 mm dia organic clutch. The gear ratios are designed specifically for surface transportation, with reduced fuel consumption. The Signa 4825.TK is available in two configurations: 10x4, 10x2 to offer flexibility to the customer, based on their requirement. The tipper truck is equipped with 3 distinct drive modes - Light, Medium and Heavy - to ensure optimum power and torque selection, based on the load and terrain, ensuring high fuel efficiency.
In terms of features, the truck comes with a steering system with both tilt and telescopic, 3-way mechanically adjustable comfortable driving seat and easy-shift gears. The Signa 4825.TK also comes with a spacious sleeper cabin, and because it's suspended, the cabin guarantees lower NVH characteristics and provides a comfortable ride even on rough roads.
