The Tata Ace Zip is a Pickup truck from Tata Motors Ltd, built from 2010 to 2020, as electrification stopped being an experiment and the crossover took every market. Under the bonnet: 0.6 L diesel I2.
How it came about
The Tata Ace Zip is a micro-truck launched in May 2010 by Tata Motors in India. It is in competition with the prevalent three-wheeled goods carriers from Bajaj Auto, Piaggio, Mahindra and Force Motors.

Family and rivals
Its family tree is legible: its successor was the Tata Ace Pro; assembly was at Karnataka, India. Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Nissan Leaf, the Jeep Grand Cherokee, the Lexus LFA — show what else the money bought that year. Its Tata Motors Ltd stablemates include the TaMo Racemo and the Tata 407.
