| abstract | - The Tempo Trax is a series of "Multi Utility Vehicles" (MUVs) built by Force Motors in Pune, India. There has also been an SUV version called the Gama, especially aimed at private buyers, while the vehicle also receives many additional names such as Cruiser, Gurkha, and Judo. The vehicles are of simple and durable construction, suited for the severe conditions found in the Indian countryside. Open top SUVs, comparatively luxurious station wagons, dropside pickups (Kargo King), ambulances, vans, and many special bodies are offered on three different wheelbases of mm (in), mm (in) (Kargo King), or mm (in). The Trax can hold up to 13 passengers in the LWB versions. The engines used were originally versions of Mercedes-Benz' venerable OM616 2.4 litre four-cylinder diesel, with an available turbo'd version for the top of the line Trax Gurkha, but these have been replaced by a larger L ( cc) TD 2650 F, still Mercedes derived. Power is hp (kW) at 3,200 rpm, with a hp (kW) turbocharged and intercooled version (TD 2650 FTI) used for the 4x4 Gurkha version.
