Tata Motors has showcased two new variants of its Ultra truck range- Ultra Plus 1418 and Ultra 814 AMT in South Africa at the Futuroad Expo 2019 in Johannesburg. While the Ultra AMT 814 is from the existing range, the Ultra Plus 1418 is an entirely new vehicle in the Heavy Commercial Vehicle (HCV) range.

The vehicle will offer a payload capacity of seven to eight tonnes.

The Ultra platform is modular architecture with five deck lengths, five wheelbases and payloads ranging from four to eight tonnes.
