By the way, anyone's travelled by the Tata Globus buses doing duty for the KeralaSRTC? If yes, hows the ride, noise and speed characteristics? |
The Kerala State RTC has 19 Tata Globus. These buses mostly run between banglore and Cochin, Trivandrum, thrissur etc. These are basically Tata LPO1616 chassis fitted with 160hp cummins B series turbo intercooler engine. The Globus body have been built by ACGL. The A/c (thermoKing) is driven by the bus engine itself and no additional donkey engine is provided. The interiors are well furnished and comfortable. But problems like water leakage, poor fitting quality etc can be noted. Otherwise they are doing well.
maximum speed is around 75 -85Kmph.
ride is good...thanks to cummins engine.
The driver cabin is non a/c and less ventillated.
Considerable a good product from Tatas.
