Key highlights Tata Motors launches Ace Pro as India’s most affordable four-wheeled mini-truck at INR 3.99 lakh Available in Petrol, Bi-Fuel (CNG + Petrol), and Electric variants 750 kg payload, connected tech, and crash-tested cabin aim to empower new-age entrepreneurs Tata Motors has officially launched the all-new Ace Pro, a budget-friendly four-wheeled mini-truck that starts at INR 3.99 lakh (ex-showroom). Touted as India’s most affordable four-wheeled cargo vehicle, the Ace Pro builds on the legacy of the original Tata Ace, a vehicle that revolutionised the small commercial vehicle segment two decades ago. The Ace Pro arrives in three distinct fuel options: Petrol, Bi-Fuel (CNG + Petrol), and Electric. Tata aims to offer flexibility and convenience to small business owners and transport entrepreneurs, especially in last-mile logistics. Powertrain options and performance The petrol variant gets a 694cc engine producing 30bhp and 55Nm of torque, ideal for short city hauls. The bi-fuel option uses a CNG setup paired with a 5-litre petrol backup tank. In CNG mode, it makes 26bhp and 51Nm, targeting cost-sensitive markets. The electric version is the more future-ready avatar, offering 38bhp, 104Nm of torque, and a certified range of 155km. The battery and motor come with IP67 ratings, making the EV variant a weather-proof urban delivery tool. Payload and practicality The Ace Pro can carry up to 750 kg and gets a 6.5-foot-long deck. It comes with factory-fitted half-deck or flatbed options. It can also be customised for containers, reefer boxes, or municipal applications. Tata has clearly prioritised utility and modularity. Tech that makes a difference All variants come with a digital instrument cluster, and there’s an optional infotainment system. Fleet operators can monitor their vehicles using Tata’s Fleet Edge telematics platform, which is already used across 8 lakh Tata commercial vehicles. Gear Shift Advisor and reverse parking sensors enhance usability in tight urban spaces. For those going electric, Tata has also ensured service support via EV-specific centres and 24x7 roadside assistance. The Competition At this price, the Ace Pro undercuts rivals like the Mahindra Jeeto and Ashok Leyland Dost. With its multi-fuel versatility and EV option, it aims to steal the edge from more expensive competition. Also read: Tata Re.Wi.Re vehicle scrapping facilities debuts in Lucknow and Raipur
