Force Traveller 26

Force Motors has been in the commercial vehicle space for a long time, and if you’ve travelled in India even a little, chances are you’ve sat in one of their buses at some point. One of their more familiar models is the Force Traveller 26, a 26-seater that is used for a variety of applications: Schools, offices, tourist routes, etc.

Engine & Performance

The Traveller 26 runs on a BS6 diesel engine, pushing out roughly 115 hp. The torque feels steady which makes overtaking easy. Mileage usually falls somewhere around 11–13 km/l, depends on how the vehicle is driven

The positive aspect of this engine is that it doesn’t vibrate like older buses and maintenance stays on the lower side too, because the mechanicals aren’t overly complicated.

Passenger Space & Comfort

Inside, the bus fits 26 people with ease. The seats are arranged in a way to provide plenty of legroom. The suspension handles bumpy roads decently. Airflow inside the cabin is surprisingly decent because the bus doesn't feel cluttered like some of the other buses, thanks to its ergonomic design.

Durability & Day-to-Day Running

If you ask fleet operators why they like Force Motors, the answer will always be reliability. The Traveller 26 carries that same reputation. It has a strong chassis which ensures safety and maintenance costs are low, which means less downtime and more profit.

Plus, Force has service centres practically everywhere, small towns, highways, random industrial areas, so upkeep rarely becomes a headache.

Fuel Efficiency & Emissions

Thanks to the BS6 engine, emissions are cleaner than older Traveller generations. And for a 26-seater, getting around 11–13 km/l is considered to be a good mileage. Operators trying to keep fuel bills under control usually appreciate the running cost of this vehicle.

Competitors

The closest rivals are the Tata Winger 24 and Mahindra Cruzio models. They’re not bad by any means, but Force has an odd advantage: people already trust the Traveller lineup. It’s the “default” in the segment because it is one of those vehicles which are the preferred choice for both passengers as well as operators.
