Tata Engineering and Locomotive Co Ltd was established in 1945. The company collaborated with Daimler Benz AG from 1954 to 1969 to produce medium commercial vehicles. During that period, some vehicles were a Benz design and have Daimler Benz Logo. Some trucks and buses in this age can still easily be seen in Malaysia. Although the collaboration has ended for more than 30 years, many characteristics from Daimler Benz can still be found on the current models, like the axles, chassis and chassis nomenclature. Tata is now ranked the 9th largest commercial vehicle manufacturer in the world.
