Performance
Force One 4x2 has a 2.2L FMTech engine. The diesel powered engine is a 4 cylinder CRDI turbo engine that produces 321Nm of torque and 140bhp of power. Daimler has supplied the engine technology to Force Motors and it produces 104kw at 3800rpm. The fuel system on the powerful machine is Common Rail Injection System. The engine has been mated to a 5-speed gearbox. The transmission type is G32/5, syncromesh, with DMFW. There are five forward and one reverse. At the front there is non driven stub axle while there is full floating type axle at the rear.
Safety
The homegrown car maker Force Motors has intricately put its best effort in producing its first passenger vehicle-Force One. Despite being a 140 bhp SUV, the Force One has excellent control over power. The power is distributed to the wheels with the help of a 5 speed manual gearbox. A hydraulic operated single plate dry type clutch with 240 mm diameter with DMFW and effort reducing mechanism is in place to ensure that Force One offers smooth gear shift. There is independent double wishbone with coil spring suspension at the front and multi link pan hard rod and coil spring at the rear to ensure that no bumps could reach the passengers inside the mighty SUV. And those bumps that actually worry the suspension are absorbed by gas charged telescopic shock absorbers at the front and the rear.
There is also anti roll bar both at the front and rear axle. The suspension system of the Force One has been fine tuned by Lotus Engineering UK and has been designed to face any terrain thus making Force One, one of the SUVs that can take any terrain with ease. Maneuvering the Force One is far easier with the help of the new steering mechanism which is power assisted with tilt and collapsible mechanism and protection guard. A lot of safety features also make the powerful comfortable ride inside the Force One far safer. The unique feature of Force One is the over speed warning that warns if the SUV crosses the permissible speed limit. Besides, there is also remote key entry, driver seat warning, door open warning and display, ultrasonic reverse parking sensors for parking in the slimmest of space, brake pad wear and tear warning along with central looking. Force One with ABS and Airbags is expected to arrive soon. More Details
