Tatra hits back, says no quality issues in 20 yrs

In the midst of a row over Army Chief Gen V K Singh's bribery allegations, manufacturer of Tatra trucks said on Wednesday the heavy vehicles have not faced any quality issues in the last 20 years.

Gen Singh had recently alleged that he was offered a bribe of Rs 14 crore by a lobbyist to clear the sale of a tranche of 600 'substandard' trucks for the Army.

"Tatra supplies only 30-35 per cent of the parts and the balance are produced or furnished by BEML, which assembles the trucks. Tatra has not heard of any quality issue from BEML in last 20 years," CEO Ronald Adams said
