The event will soon be held in other cities, including Jakarta, Lampung and Medan

The method to measure fuel consumption was fuel-to-fuel. The vehicles were given a 1-ton water payload and the fuel tank was filled with solar-fuel in the same gas pump, of which was then sealed with a sticker to confirm that it was not tampered with throughout the race. In the finish line the judges witnessed the re-fuelling and calculated each participant’s fuel consumption.

Kesuma, President Director of Hanata Auto, is confident that the event was useful to show the public of the competitive advantages of Tata Motors’ products, especially the Tata Super Ace 1,400cc diesel- the only one of its kind in Indonesia. “The Tata Super Ace is the perfect solution for Small and Medium Enterprise businessmen in this economic climate.
