What is a Tempo Traveller, and what is its Importance?

A tempo traveller is a four-wheeled tempo traveller normally used to carry passengers and or cargo from one place to another. The traveller comes in a price range of INR 3-17 Lakhs and is capable enough to carry loads up to 1810 Kg, which is equivalent to that of a mini truck. Therefore, in the same price range, you are availing of some alternative offers.  

1. Force Tempo Traveller 3050

Force tempo traveller 3050 is a four-wheeled vehicle with a lot of special features and specifications. Let us make it through its specifications and features one by one and decide what’s special in the traveller van.  

Specifications

Force tempo traveller 3050 comes with FM2.6CR ED type, 4 cylinders, the engine that produces 350 Newton-Metres of torque. This produces 115 HP of power and hence is a capable tempo traveller. The gross weight of the tempo traveller (GVW) is 3675 Kg, and with a wheelbase of 3050 mm, the tempo traveller has got a lowered centre of gravity. This leads to more stability while travelling on the road.

The BS-VI engine complies with all the environmental norms leading to fewer carbon pollutants in the air and economic mileage. Furthermore, the synchromesh transmission makes a smooth gear-changing experience for the driver. This type of gear transmission also causes less wear and tear to the engine of the tempo traveller.

• A wheelbase of 1950 mm lowers the centre of gravity to a much lower level. Thus increasing the stability of the vehicle on all types of roads.
• The brakes in the tempo traveller are disc/drum.
• It has a driver+1 configuration. Thus facilitating an assistant driver.
