Force Traveller at Auto Expo - Team-BHP

Mpower · 17th January 2008, 19:49

I noticed the new Force Traveller in one of Moralfiber's pics. Anybody have the scoop on this vehicle? Supposed to have the Merc's common rail diesel.

Ive seen a couple of them running and registered on Punes roads. They somehow have DC written all over them.

that thing looks too ugly and messd up...

they have tried to give a muscular look but have made a disgusting result out of it.

i would still prefer the older look even though it is 2 decades old

AMATMO · 21st January 2008, 13:21

horrible they ruined a beautiful looking mercedes benz
i have no reason to like the traveller now

moralfibre · 21st January 2008, 21:51

MPower I have a few pics of these vans. I shall post as soon as I get to my home computer.

Here it is..not a huge improvement.

I guess looks wont change much. What we are all interested is what's under the hood. Last I remember Force motors had some license to put the old C-class (OM616 is it??) CDI engine inside this once the 2008 model C came out.

AMATMO · 23rd January 2008, 09:31

it cartainly looks far better than the tata winger
IMO even the old version of the traveller was better than the winger

Thanks for the pics guys. This is change for the sake of change. Honestly, some of the DC designed Travellers looked better up front.

What happened to the new Merc engine. The specs show the age old 2650 DI engine??

195 Nm, heck dosen't the Verna make more than that??

The output is too low for such a big vehicle.

Saw this one when I went for a marriage. Looked stunning with those alloys and tyres.
