Hindustan Motors is an Indian automotive manufacturer based in Kolkata, West Bengal, India. It is a part of the Birla Technical Services industrial group. The company was the largest car manufacturer in India before the rise of Maruti Udyog.
Designed by Hindustan Motors, the Trekker was quite a unique vehicle. It was actually designed with leftover parts that Hindustan Motors had from the Ambassador.
It has a ladder frame chassis. The engine, lights, steering and suspension were borrowed from the Ambassador. The engine was also the same 1.5 litre as that of the Ambassador but this had a floor-mounted 4-speed manual transmission.
