Overview

The Tata LPT 3718 CR BS IV 10×2 is a heavy-duty commercial truck engineered for demanding transport tasks. With a gross vehicle weight (GVW) of approximately 37,000 kg and a robust 10×2 axle configuration, this model is ideal for high-payload operations across a variety of sectors.

Powertrain & Performance

At its heart is a Cummins ISBe 5.9 litre engine delivering around 175-180 hp at 2,500 rpm and peak torque of about 700 Nm in the 1,200-1,700 rpm range, ensuring strong pull-away, reliable climbing ability and efficient haulage. The vehicle features a manual 6-speed (6F+1R) transmission (in many variants) and a gradeability of up to roughly 20%—making it well-suited for heavy loads across challenging terrains.

Structure & Build

Built on a robust ladder-type chassis with heavy-duty frame members and cross-members, the LPT 3718 CR offers durability and stability for long-haul and demanding applications. Its “10×2” axle configuration involves a twin-steer or twin-front-axle setup (depending on variant) plus a rear drive axle, offering enhanced load distribution and manoeuvrability.

Comfort & Usability

The truck’s cabin is designed for commercial operations, offering power-steering, hydraulic controls, and comfortable driver ergonomics. Although this model focuses more on heavy-duty utility rather than luxury, it provides a practical and efficient environment for operators who spend long hours on the road.
