The commercial vehicle segment in India has just witnessed a major shake-up with the launch of Tata Motors’ LPT 812, India’s first 4-tyre truck with a 5-ton payload capacity. Designed for the evolving demands of urban logistics, the LPT 812 sets a new benchmark in performance, comfort, and efficiency.
At FabTrucks, we believe this launch is more than just a new model – it’s a game-changer for garages, fleet owners, and transporters across India.
Power and Performance Under the hood, the Tata LPT 812 comes with a 4SP CR BS6 diesel engine, producing 125 HP at 2,800 rpm and 360 Nm torque between 1,400–1,800 rpm. This ensures powerful pickup for city hauls while maintaining fuel efficiency.
The truck is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission and a booster-assisted clutch, designed for smoother gear shifts and reduced driver fatigue – a crucial factor in stop-and-go urban traffic. Comfort and Control
Traditionally, light and medium trucks have compromised on driver comfort. With the LPT 812, Tata Motors changes the game:
Factory-fitted air conditioning and power steering come standard.
A wide cabin improves ergonomics for long hours on the road.
Advanced suspension and a front anti-roll bar ensure stability, even with full loads.
The Gear Shift Advisor helps drivers optimize performance and fuel economy.
These features not only improve the driver’s experience but also reduce downtime and operating costs for fleet owners.
Built for Urban Logistics With a GVW of 8,500 kg and a payload capacity of 5 tonnes, the Tata LPT 812 is ideal for city-based logistics. From FMCG deliveries to e-commerce parcels, market loads, industrial goods, and even refrigerated cargo, this truck is versatile enough to serve multiple industries.
The radial tyres add durability, while Tata’s Fleet Edge digital platform enables real-time tracking, analytics, and fleet management making it a future-ready vehicle. Reliability and Warranty Backed by Tata’s reputation for rugged trucks, the LPT 812 comes with a 3-year / 300,000 km warranty. This level of assurance reduces the risk for fleet owners and adds confidence for businesses looking to scale operations with minimal downtime.
