Tata claims that this provides better stability and smoother ride, while reducing maintenance with fewer bushings and no lubrication requirements and improving rear tyre life:
Haulmaax VariRate spring system adjusts to the load to improve the ride and stability. In empty state, the diagonally mounted rubber bolster springs act in shear and compression to help provide optimum spring deflection for a better ride. Bolster springs absorb vertical road inputs and fore & aft shocks. As payload increases, the bolster springs compress and increase in stiffness. With higher loading, the auxilliary spring engages:

I see the design language of the interior and exteriors of Tata CVs to be light years ahead of the Mahindra’s. Such beautiful looking trucks.
Thanks for the extensive coverage!
Tata's commercial vehicles design, features, fit, and finish looks much better than some of the competitors passenger vehicles display line ups. Most of them looks ready for market launch as well. I do not mind driving around any of these vehicles.
The 4323, 6 axle looks neat.
I guess this is longest or highest number of axles that a rigid can have.
Here is link of it when being tested last year,

And a standalone picture of the same one in the expo.
Great lineup of new vehicles from Tata. The medium range with AMT and the light vehicles with gear mounted on central console could be big successes.

Tata has been displaying these engines at Auto Expo after Auto Expo but without actually using them in any of its trucks! Even the Ultra range for which these engines were developed presently comes with the old engines only. Here are a few pics I had taken with my mobile camera at the 2012 Auto Expo (sorry about poor picture quality):
