Force Traveller at Auto Expo

The front headlight treatment is copied from the ROLLS ROYCE

What about luggage carrying capacity? The TRAVELLER has almost no luggage space.

Remember this vehicle for one thing. Its the first commecial vehicle in India with a full monoquoque construction body. The body while being painted at the factory is actually dipped in a swimming pool size paint tank, fully immersed, so that the paint can reach all cavities, that's the main reason the TRAVELLER is rust proof

Hey JK,
Can you put up some more pics of the same?
Looks quite different from the model being discussed here. It seems like a moded one(wrap around headlights), very tastefully done though.

that orange one pictured is probably an aftermarket conversion.

I have only one more. Belong to a studio group.

Loved the interiors too.

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

I-tv sport is a UK based channel.If at all it does have any significance about the vehicle's credentials,what are they up to in India?

Thats Scorpio's steering wheel?? Isn't it?
Well thanks JK, but you should have taken some front and rear pics. I mean we don't get to see such vehicles daily. But anyways, like you said, it was a wedding and you must have been busy. Thanks nonetheless.

I have been seeing quite a few new Travellers with the badging "CRV-16". Does this indicate the presence of a common-rail version of the OM616 engine?

The engine sound was markedly smoother than the current BS-II/BS-III engines (TD 2650 FT / TD 2650 FTI (VP 37)).
