Which CNG Truck To Choose?

For starters, the Tata 709g LPT CNG truck comes with a high-torque and mileage-oriented powertrain, but in terms of better fuel efficiency and refinement, the powertrain of the Eicher Pro 2059XP has the upper hand. 

Eicher Motors also offer two load body options with the Pro 2059XP CNG truck– 4325mm and 4941mm – unlike Tata Motors’ 709g LPT CNG truck which only comes with a 4349mm load body option. However, the 709g LPT has a slightly longer wheelbase rated at 3800mm and a higher payload capacity rated at 4500kg. The Pro 2059XP CNG only offers 3863/3550kg payload. 

The 709g LPT even comes with a better brake system compared to the Eicher truck and is available for purchase at a starting price of just Rs. 14.26 lakh (ex-showroom). The Pro 2059XP CNG, on the other hand, comes at a starting price of Rs. 14.34 lakh (ex-showroom).

The 709g LPT is the best suitable option for enhancing profitability. It facilitates higher load-carrying capacity and the torque required to make trips a breeze. Moreover, it is the perfect truck for those who are looking for an affordable ILCV.

However, Tata 709g LPT comes only with a three-year or 3,00,000km warranty, while Eicher Motors offers a two-year/unlimited km warranty on the vehicle in addition to the three-year/unlimited km warranty on the engine and gearbox. All-in-all, both trucks have their own perks and drawbacks.

Verdict:

The Tata 709g LPT is the right CNG truck for you if you are looking for a commercial vehicle with higher payload, power and mileage at an affordable price. The truck comes with a lot of features such as a new-gen multi-display electronic cluster, a low hysteresis clutch for better torque output and a banjo-type rear axle for better performance. Also, the after-sales service accompanied by the purchase of this truck is excellent.

However, if you are in search of a comfortable, high-mileage, refined and decent payload-enabled, easy-to-drive truck for short-haulage trips, then the Eicher Pro 2059XP CNG truck is perfect for you. It comes with an 8-degree cooler cabin with heat insulation, 180 mm seat travel with lumbar support and a walkthrough cabin among other features to improve driver comfort.
