16T Chassis Features
The BharatBenz 16T/12-metre Chassis delivers a smooth ride for both its driver and passengers. The chassis is equipped with front and rear glide air suspensions.
The chassis has wider brakes with 24 percent higher braking surface area. High system pressure (10 bar) and bigger brake chambers ensure effective braking. Elctromagnetic retarder utilizing CAN (Controller Area Network) can be operated with the help of a lever and brake pedal. Combined with iRCS technology, the retarder helps in improving the life of brake pads and driveline components.
With an intelligent ECU controlling the engine and low and flat torque, the BharatBenz 16T/12-metre Chassis delivers unmatched fel efficiency. The engine brake, exhaust braje, waste gate turbocharger, electronic unit pumps and ECY controlled injectors further enhance the fuel efficient characteristics of the chassis.
BharatBenz 1624 Chassis is loaded with glide air suspension at the front and rear that guarantees at most comfortable ride over long distances. Utilized suspension assembly integrated with a fine-tuned shock absorber to provide excellent ride comfort for both the passenger and the driver.
Optimized service intervals for engine, transmission, axle and corrosion preventive chassis to ensure best fuel efficiency and lower maintenance.
World-class proven OM 926 engine with 7.2 litre capacity which delivers 240 HP power and 850 Nm torque ensuring reliability in operations.
