The Trax is a series of "Multi Utility Vehicles" (MUVs) built by Force Motors in Pune, India (the company was called "Bajaj Tempo" at the time of introduction). There has also been an SUV version called the Gama, especially aimed at private buyers, while the vehicle also receives many additional names such as Cruiser and Judo.
The vehicles are of simple and durable construction, suited for the severe conditions found in the Indian countryside. Originally there were three models; the Town and Country, the Trax Challenger, and the Pick-up. In 1998, the four-wheel drive "Tempo Trax Gurkha" was introduced, originally aimed mostly at military users.{{ cite journal | title = Lower Sales | journal = Economic and Political Weekly | number = 44 | volume = 33 | location = Mumbai, India | publisher = Sameeksha Trust | page = 2765 | date = 31 October 1998 }} Since then, a plethora of versions have appeared: open top SUVs, comparatively luxurious station wagons, dropside pickups (Kargo King), ambulances, vans, and many special bodies are offered on three different wheelbases of {{convert|2400|mm|in|0|abbr=on}}, {{convert|3030|mm|in|0|abbr=on}} (Kargo King),{{cite web | title = Trax Kargo-King | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20101007053512/http://forcemotors.com/Kargo_King.html | url = http://forcemotors.com/Kargo_King.html | publisher = Force Motors LTD | archivedate = 7 October 2010 }} or {{convert|3050|mm|in|0|abbr=on}}.{{cite web | title = Trax Gurkha/Cruiser | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20101007051503/http://forcemotors.com/Trax_Cruiser.html | url = http://forcemotors.com/Trax_Cruiser.html | publisher = Force Motors LTD | archivedate = 7 October 2010 }} The Trax can hold up to 13 passengers in the LWB versions.{{Cite web |title=Multiutility Vehicles |url=http://panworldgroup.com/muv.htm |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110107055150/http://panworldgroup.com/muv.htm |archive-date=7 January 2011 |publisher=Pan World}}
The engines used were originally versions of Mercedes-Benz OM616 2.4 litre four-cylinder diesel, with an available turbo version for the top-of-the-line Trax Gurkha, but these have been replaced by a larger {{convert|2596|cc|L|1|abbr=on|disp=flip}} TD 2650 F, still Mercedes derived. Power is {{convert|61|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} at 3,200 rpm, with a {{convert|75|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} turbocharged and intercooled version (TD 2650 FTI) used for the 4x4 Gurkha version.
In the Philippines, a rebadged version, the Togo Tracker, is built locally by Morales Motors. This variant is also offered either as a passenger van or as a chassis cab for jeepneys and custom-bodied utility trucks.{{cn|date=January 2025}}
