TATA 407, 207 WHAT THAT MEAN?

IN THIS POST WE WILL DISCUSS NOMENCLATURE OF VEHICLES AND THEIR MEANING. YOU MUST HAVE HEARD TATA 407, TATA 207 TATA PRIMA 2525... SO WHAT THAT NUMBER MENACE, WHAT THEY INDICATE. 

LET'S TAKE AN EXAMPLE.

TATA 207:

SEPARATE OUT THIS WHOLE NUMBER.

ITS WOULD LIKE 2, 07. NOW THE REAL THING COMES. FIRST TWO DIGITS INDICATES GROWS WEIGHT OF VEHICLE IN TONS. AND LAST TWO DIGITS INDICATES BREAK HORSEPOWER(POWER) OF ENGINE OF THAT VEHICLE

IT WOULD BE LIKE. 

1. TATA PRIMA 2525

25- VEHICLE WEIGHT= 25 TONS

25- ENGINE POWER= DIGITSx10

                             =25x10

                             =250 BHP.

SIMILARLY, WE CAN SAY WITH TATA 407,

2. TATA 407

4- VEHICLE WEIGHT= 4 TONS

07- ENGINE POWER= DIGITSx10

                             =07x10

                             =70 BHP.

3. TATA 2518

25- VEHICLE WEIGHT=25 TONS

18- ENGINE POWER=DIGITSx10

                             =18x10

                             =180 BHP

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS NOMENCLATURE IS ONLY FOT TATA VEHICLES. DIFFERENT MANUFACTURERS HAVE THEIR OWN NOMENCLATURE AND CODING.
