Tata Motors introduced the all-new ‘Ace Pro‘ platform for micro- and last-mile logistics at the Auto Expo 2025 early this year. Built on an innovative modular architecture, the Ace Pro guarantees lower TCO and higher earning potential for last-mile operators. The micro truck’s versatile design and dual-fuel flexibility makes it an influential launch product in its segment.

To start with, the ingenuity of the Tata Ace pro is its small dimension. Remember Tata Iris from the decade before? The Ace Pro draws inspiration and learnings from the Iris to uphold the frugality of being small and smart! The vehicle measures just 3,560 mm long and 1,497 mm wide, with a wheelbase of 1,800 mm. And yet, it offers a 6.5f cargo deck to support a max payload of 750 kgs.

The cabin of the Ace Pro is smartly designed and built for optimum comfort and safety. Although the front face may seem a bit old-school (with round headlamps), the interiors and ergonomic seating are car-like. It is also the first-in-its-segment to meet AIS 096 standards for passive safety.

The ‘Small is Smart’ doctrine extends to the powertrain matters as well. The Tata Ace Pro features a 694 cc, 2-cylinder spark-ignited engine that can run on both petrol and CNG. The intelligent fuel management system makes it easier and seamless for the engine to switch between the fuels while on the move. The engine generates 25.6 hp power and 51 Nm of torque at the maximum.

Above all, the most interesting aspect of the new Ace Pro is its tech features. Tata Motors has assured cutting-edge ADAS techs and 31 connected vehicle features via its ‘Fleet Edge‘ app. Driver assist systems include Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Warning, Pedestrian Collision Warning, and Cross Traffic Alert. These techs will come handy for drivers to operate in tight urban spaces and crowded streets for their last-mile duties.
