caption_attribution_description: Bajaj Tempo TEMPO TRAX JUDO 4x4, seen in Duesseldorf, Germany
context_page_description: The Trax is a series of "Multi Utility Vehicles" built by Force Motors in Pune, India. 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, Gurkha, 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 Picki-up. In 1998, the four-wheel drive "Tempo Trax Gurkha" was introduced, originally aimed mostly at military users. Since then, a plethora of versions have appeared: open top SUVs, comparatively luxurious station wagons, dropside pickups, ambulances, vans, and many special bodies are offered on three different wheelbases of 2,400 mm, 3,030 mm, or 3,050 mm. The Trax can hold up to 13 passengers in the LWB versions.
  The engines used were originally versions of Mercedes-Benz' venerable OM616 2.4 litre four-cylinder diesel, with an available turbo'd version for the top of the line Trax Gurkha, but these have been replaced by a larger 2.6 L TD 2650 F, still Mercedes derived.
