Tata Hitachi Launches India’s First CEV 5 Hydrostatic Wheel Loader

Tata Hitachi has unveiled TL 340H Prime - a next-generation CEV 5 - compliant wheel loader equipped with cutting-edge hydrostatic technology—a first in its class in India. Designed to deliver unmatched fuel efficiency, productivity, and operator comfort, this advanced machine redefines the standards of performance in the 3-ton loading category.

Whether deployed in construction, quarrying, material handling, or infrastructure development, the TL 340H Prime CEV 5 offers best-in-class returns through reduced operating costs, intelligent machine health tracking, and Tata Hitachi’s robust pan-India support system.

Hydrostatic Driveline

The TL 340H Prime is India’s first wheel loader in its class to adopt a hydrostatic driveline, replacing the conventional torque converter system with a stepless hydraulic powertrain. This not only reduces transmission losses but also offers:

• Higher breakout force for efficient material handling
• 10 to 15% higher fuel savings
• Seamless acceleration and superior manoeuvrability

With its hydraulic braking system and inching function, brake wear is minimized while providing automotive-like ease in congested or precision workspaces. The TL 340H Prime is built to handle the toughest conditions with a reinforced heavy-duty steel frame, and thicker plates at critical stress points for high durability.

Power Optimization

Under the hood is a CEV 5-compliant Cummins 4-cylinder engine, engineered for low fuel consumption, high performance, reliability, and eco-friendly operations. In sync with variable displacement pumps, the T wheel loader intelligently adapts hydraulic flow to demand, ensuring optimal energy use across applications.

Comfort and Safety

The wheel loader has many features to safeguard operators and people around the machine. These include FOPS and ROPS cabin, giving protection against fatal accidents; measures to prevent electrical and thermal fire hazards, and a double door access, which proves useful in many situations. The cabin is ergonomically designed for enhanced operator comfort. The location of filters is re-oriented to ease access for replacement of engine related consumables to further facilitate uptime of the machine.

Return on Investment

With the increase in crude oil prices, the impact of operating cost is significant for any wheel loader. In the TL 340H Prime, due to its hydrostatic technology, fuel consumption is reduced by 10 to 15% (compared to conventional loaders), saving customers’ money on every hour usage of the machine. Besides, features like mode of operation, travel speed selection, and advanced hydraulic components (variable displacement pumps) also contribute to fuel savings.

Taking a further leap in reducing maintenance cost, this wheel loader offers higher change intervals of consumables, making the maintenance costs lower than conventional loaders.

Smart Connectivity

With Tata Hitachi’s InSite 4G telematics suite, users can monitor real-time machine health and diagnostics, and preventive maintenance schedules. This connected intelligence helps owners make smarter, data-driven decisions that enhance productivity and uptime.

Nationwide Dealer & Service Network

Backed by Tata Hitachi’s extensive dealership and service network, the TL 340H Prime is supported by skilled technicians, genuine parts availability, and efficient after-sales service throughout the machine’s lifecycle.

Whether it’s fuel efficiency, operator safety, environmental compliance, or smart diagnostics—TL 340H Prime CEV 5 stands out as the most advanced wheel loader in its category. It offers superior ROI, robust performance, and cutting-edge technology—crafted to meet the needs of various jobsites across India.
