Just a few weeks ago, Tata Motors shared a video of its Curvv coupe SUV pulling not one but a total of three Tata trucks. Well, now the company has shared another similar video. However, this time around, the company has managed to receive an India record. Tata Motors recently shared a video in which the Curvv TGDi was seen pulling a 48,000 kg Boeing 737 airplane. For this, the Tata Curvv has been rewarded with an India record for pulling the aircraft 110.24 meters.

This video of the Tata Curvv pulling an aircraft and making a new world record has been shared on YouTube by Tata Motors Cars on their channel. In this short video, the Curvv can be seen coming out of the airplane hangar along with the Boeing 737 airplane. Following this, both the airplane and the Curvv were lined up at the AIESL hangar in Thiruvananthapuram.
A few officials from the India Book of Records were then seen marking up various points on the road where the Tata Curvv was about to pull the Boeing 737. The last marker, which the official put out, was at 100 meters. After this, the aircraft was then attached to the Curvv, and it was getting pulled by the Curvv powered by the Hyperion TGDi engine. We can note that the Curvv effortlessly pulled this truck.
