traditionally leyland trucks have more pulling power v/s tata and tata are better on flat lands as they give better average and are faster.
this was because tata truck chassis and control elements were based on merc trucks which were developed in germany during and after ww2 while leyland truck designs were based on leyland trucks when england was at the height of its power.
so the basics of design was different.
even now tata trucks are cheaper to maintain wrt to leyland and leyland last longer wrt to tata.
there are some models which are unique to tata like the ones used in carrying sand and ore where the steering is behind the front axle . and also the 407 range which i asume has to be the cheapest lcv ever made in india wrt its versatility |
