Tata Motors Super Milo Range

Tata Motors has introduced a new range of Super Milo bus chassis across the country. The Super Milo range is available in two variants — City and Highway — each with customized parameters calibrated for their individual applications. Both variants are powered by the BS II complaint 697 TCIC 130 HP engine. The higher power and better torque at a lower engine rpm - 130 HP 2400 rpm and a torque of 410 Nm 1400-1700 rpm - result in better pick up, and more mileage.
