Tata Ace Zip The ACE family has just gotten bigger with the entry of its smallest member. Though tinier than its heavyduty Super Ace and ACE EX cousins, the Tata Ace Zip is a small but smart micro truck with a payload capacity of 600 kg. Built for deeper door-to-door penetration, the Ace Zip has the agility to navigate narrow by-lanes owing to its small turning radius of just 3.5 metres making it apt for both urban and rural use. The only sub-600 kg mini van to house a water cooled engine, the Ace Zip is built to cover long distances with ease and is hence suitable for varied application. The new Tata Ace Zip comes with a warranty of 36,000 km/ 12-month, whichever is earlier and its BSIII version is priced at Rs. 1.90 lakh, ex showroom Thane (without octroi). Commenting on the launches, Mr. P M Telang, Managing Director - India Operations, Tata Motors, said, “With the introduction of the Tata Magic IRIS and the Tata Ace Zip the company will more comprehensively address the burgeoning need of public transportation and goods movement. Their quality, affordable pricing and competitive maintenance cost throughout the life-cycle will further foster self-employment in the country.”
