Hindustan Motors, as we all know, is one of India’s most famous automobile companies - they brought us never aging versions of the Ambassador, later the Contessa and then collaboration with Mitsubushi. Look at what they have just launched - why, its the HM Shifeng Winner ! Hurray! Just what we had been expecting for a long time! ;)

Hindustan Motors’ upcoming model is a Commercial Vehicle- Might be named Sumatra

Note- The following information is given to us by a source close to HM. We do not guarantee that it’s all facts- This is only a speculation-

Hindustan Motors has been making all feasible noise with it’s upcoming model, which it claims to be an indigenous product with barely design inputs from others.

It turns out to be that the vehicle they have been formulating all this buzz with is a Light Commercial Vehicle, which could possibly be christened ‘Sumatra’

The Sumatra will be a Mini-truck that will don an entirely new Chassis. It will be powered by a 4-cylinder 1500cc engine that will coax out 37.5 HP 8.15 Kgm of torque, that’s doing duties on the HM Trekker or 35.5 bhp and 7.44 kgm of torque- you guessed it- borrowed from the good old Ambassador. The 5-Speed gearbox paired to the engine will also come from the Amby.
