The Trax is a series of "Multi Utility Vehicles" (MUVs) built by Force Motors in Pune, India (the company was called "Bajaj Tempo" at the time of introduction). 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 and Judo.
The vehicles are of simple and durable construction, suited for the severe conditions found in the Indian countryside. Originally there were three models; the Town and Country, the Trax Challenger, and the Pick-up. In 1998, the four-wheel drive "Tempo Trax Gurkha" was introduced, originally aimed mostly at military users.[1] Since then, a plethora of versions have appeared: open-top SUVs, comparatively luxurious station wagons, dropside pickups ("Kargo King"), ambulances, vans, and many special bodies are offered on three different wheelbases of 2400 mm, 3030 mm (Kargo King),[2] or 3050 mm.[3] The Trax can hold up to 13 passengers in the LWB versions.[4]
