Considered as the F1 of Truck Racing in India, this championship is a grand spectacle of Tata PRIMA race trucks battling it out against each other at the Buddh International Circuit.

"We proudly continue to contribute to the championship for the fourth consecutive year. WABCO's partnership with Tata Motors for the T1 PRIMA TRUCK RACING CHAMPIONSHIP is a strong testimony that WABCO provides best-in-class safety solutions for trucks on the track and on the road," said Mr. P Kaniappan, Managing Director, WABCO INDIA LIMITED.
