Tractive Effort at the Wheels - Gear Ratio x RAR x Torque (Nm)

• TATA Prima – Much Higher Tractive Effort at the Wheel due to Higher Rear Axle Ratio, Higher Gear Ratios. Though torque output is lower in TATA Prima than Bharat Benz (BB)

• For the mine depth of approx. 45m to 55 m, with the maximum gradient of 15 to 16 degrees, Bharat Benz can easily climb in 1st Gear while TATA Prima provides much higher Tractive effort than required in the subject gear. (Prima Lx is better )

Comparison of Tractive Effort at the Wheels 6x4 Tipper (230 HP)

• In 280 HP, lessons learnt and Prima Lx is an answer for BB, but for 230 HP, TATA Prima Lx, and TATA LPX 2523 are again overdesigned in terms of Powertrain combination.

Page 8: What TATA Motors should learn from Bharat Benz

• TATA Prima is Overdesigned

• Higher Tractive Effort at the Wheel in the respective Gear for Prima

than required to negotiate the gradient.

• For 6x4 Tipper 280 HP – to achieve a gradient of 15 to 16 degrees,

with a load of 20 to 25 Tons BB provides the Optimum Tractive Effort

(in practical use)

• TATA Prima has Higher Kerb weight

• Due to over specifications in terms of Powertrain, Chassis & Tyres.

• Due to Optimized design & Lower Kerb weight

• Fuel Efficiency of Bharat Benz is better than TATA Prima & Prima Lx.
