Has the Tour H1's stripped down design made it more reliable and easier to maintain than the regular Alto?
With a more basic design, the Maruti Tour H1, a commercial variant of the popular Alto, has a little less to offer than its consumer counterpart. This simplifies things by removing some comfort feature and using more robust materials in some places. Backers say this stripped down approach yields a vehicle that is more durable and easier to maintain, especially when the conditions are as harsh as those that commercial vehicles often experience. Fewer electronic components mean fewer things to go wrong, they say, and simpler mechanics mean it is quicker and cheaper to fix. However, on the flip side critics say the cost cutting measures could actually create a car that is less reliable, with lower quality materials could mean the car breaks down more often. There's also debate about how much the simplified design actually simplifies maintenance, or if it's just a question of moving the types of problems mechanics have to deal with. Now, let's examine what the Tour H1’s design choices mean for its long term reliability and maintenance costs as compared to the standard Alto.
Having worked on Altos and Tour H1s, I can assure you that the Tour H1 is definitely easier to work on. Less electronic gizmo equals less headache when something goes wrong. Also, the more robust materials in high wear areas really do make a difference in the long haul.
