TheTrax is a series of "Multi Utility Vehicles" (MUVs) built byForce Motors inPune, India (the company was called "Bajaj Tempo" at the time of introduction). There has also been anSUV version called theGama, especially aimed at private buyers, while the vehicle also receives many additional names such as Cruiser and Judo.
The vehicles are of simple and durable construction, suited for the severe conditions found in the Indian countryside. Originally there were three models; the Town and Country, the Trax Challenger, and the Pick-up. In 1998, thefour-wheel drive "Tempo Trax Gurkha" was introduced, originally aimed mostly at military users.[1] Since then, a plethora of versions have appeared: open topSUVs, comparatively luxuriousstation wagons, dropsidepickups ("Kargo King"),ambulances,vans, and many special bodies are offered on three different wheelbases of 2,400 mm (94 in), 3,030 mm (119 in) (Kargo King),[2] or 3,050 mm (120 in).[3] The Trax can hold up to 13 passengers in the LWB versions.[4]
The engines used were originally versions ofMercedes-BenzOM616 2.4 litre four-cylinderdiesel, with an available turbo version for the top-of-the-lineTrax Gurkha, but these have been replaced by a larger 2.6 L (2,596 cc)TD 2650 F, still Mercedes derived. Power is 61 hp (45 kW) at 3,200 rpm, with a 75 hp (56 kW) turbocharged and intercooled version (TD 2650 FTI) used for the 4x4 Gurkha version.[3]
