Tata Motors, currently producing 14,000-15,000 Ace trucks, has announced its decision to increase the production of its Ace light truck by 15-20 per cent by the end of the current financial year. It would also phase out 15 models in its commercial vehicle range to comply with new emission standards coming in force from April 1.

Ravi Pisharody, president for commercial vehicles at Tata Motors, said: “It has always been our commitment to continually refresh our product portfolio, with both new products and improvements on proven platforms, guided by our customers’ feedback.”

Mr. Pisharody said that the company has been doing well in the overseas markets of Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. It will soon introduce a new variant of the Ace in seven Indian states, given its popularity and utility. Tata Motors, inspired by overwhelming response to Ace, is also coming up with a ‘Super Ace’ version next month.

About new emission standards, Mr. Pisharody added: “Ideally, we want to upgrade all our BS-II vehicles to BS-III. In some cases, though, this may not be possible because of the engines in some BS-II vehicles. We will then have to phase them out, which would translate into 10 per cent of a range of 150 models or 10-15.”
