Bajaj Tempo Ltd is now known as Force Motors Ltd. Founded in 1958, it is located in Akurdi, a Pimpri-Chinchwad neighbourhood of Pune, India. They manufacture three wheelers, multi utility and cross country vehicles, light commercial vehicles, tractors and now heavy commercial vehicles. Mr. Abhay N. Firodia is the Chairman & Managing Director.

Force Motors Limited, A Firodia Enterprise, is a Company that has reinvented itself. Four decades ago, Force Motors started production of the HANSEAT 3-Wheelers in collaboration with Vidal & Sohn Tempo Werke, Germany and went on to establish a strong presence in the “Light Commercial Vehicles” (LCV) field with the MATADOR, the proverbial LCV in India. Through the 80s and 90s, and especially in the last 5 years with a major product development effort, Force Motors has introduced new Light Commercial Vehicles, a new family of Utility Vehicles, new state-of-the-art Tractors, and a new range of Three-Wheelers.

Recently the company has firmed up a JV with MAN AG of Germany for manufacturing of trucks at Pithampur,the industrial hub of Indore, MP.
