Tata Ace
Tata Ace is a model of mini trucks manufactured by Tata Motors. It was launched in 2005. History
In December 2000, Girish Wagh was given a brief by Ravi Kant to create a novel lightweight truck line that would add to Tata's current truck range. It was to be economical and to take on the three-wheeled cargo auto-rickshaws in the Indian market. Based on this brief, Wagh approached users of three-wheel cargo rickshaws and got their feedback on Tata's future four-wheel cargo vehicle. The feedback indicated the need for an economical vehicle that could carry light loads over short distances. Additionally, the feedback also revealed that future owners would prefer owning a four-wheeler cargo vehicle for the perceived prestige it would offer over a three-wheeled vehicle. Tata Ace has created a new mini-segment in India. Priced between INR 2.25 and 3.35 lakh, the company aims to convert three-wheeler users to four-wheelers. Models

The Super Ace Bigboy

The Super Ace Bigboy is the prototype passenger version of the Super Ace. It was designed as part of the Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program in the Philippines. Tata Ace Zip

The Tata Ace Zip is marketed as a micro truck in India. Priced from Rs.1.9 lakhs INR onwards, the company aims to convert three-wheeler users to four-wheelers. One of the ideas that prompted the launch of this vehicle was to develop more opportunities for self-employment in the country. Moreover, there was a need for an efficient last-mile vehicle, so Tata sought to find the gap in the market and released the Ace Zip. The 611 cc engine delivers a power of 11.3 hp at 3000 rpm and a torque of 3.16 kgf⋅m at 1600–1800 rpm. It has a permissible loading capacity of 600 kg. Ace Magic+
