Introducing Azura – Excellence reimagined for the ILMCV segment
Tata Motors showcased the all-new Azura range. Purpose-built to deliver superior performance, comfort and uptime in the intermediate and light commercial vehicle segment. Engineered to drive productivity, safety and comfort, Azura combines aesthetics with purpose for a fatigue-free driving experience.
Powered by a new 3.6-litre diesel engine delivering best-in-class performance and efficiency, Azura sets a new benchmark for reliability and uptime. The Azura range will be offered in 7 to 19-tonne configurations, perfectly suited for a diverse array of applications—from e-commerce and FMCG distribution to white goods delivery, construction material transport, agricultural and industrial goods movement, as well as intercity, medium-haul, and regional logistics.
Bringing world-class safety to Indian roads
Tata Motors has set a new benchmark for road safety by comprehensively upgrading its entire truck portfolio— including the Signa, Prima, Ultra, and all-new Azura range—to meet the stringent ECE R29 03 global crash safety standard (Euro crash norms). These trucks feature cabins engineered for full frontal, rollover, and side-impact protection, and are equipped with up to 23 India-specific advanced active safety technologies such as adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and collision mitigation systems. Real-time driving behaviour monitoring through Fleet Edge, next-gen connected vehicle platform, further enhances safety, making Tata Motors the only Indian manufacturer to elevate its trucks to this coveted international standard.
Boosting profits with industry best payload, fuel efficiency & fleet management
Engineered to maximise earning potential and reduce total cost of ownership, upgrades done across the Tata Motors trucks range delivers tangible gains that directly boost profitability. Smart enhancements have increased payload capacity by up to 1.8 tonnes, while drivetrain upgrades, led by the advanced 6.7-litre Cummins diesel engine deliver up to 7% better fuel efficiency.
Complementing these engineering advancements is a digitally enabled support ecosystem that enhances fleet visibility and uptime. With the introduction of Fleet Edge Priority, customers can now get several more insights into their fleet including real-time vehicle health insights, predictive analytics, and suggestions to optimise trip management. Together, these innovations translate into superior payload advantage, significant fuel savings, and optimised asset utilisation for transporters to achieve greater returns on every investment.
