A massive GMC Sierra pickup truck was spotted navigating India’s narrow streets in the most recent sighting. To be honest, the bohemian size of these American pickup trucks would be difficult to manoeuvre on any country’s streets. We’ve recently seen a surge in the number of imported vehicles using the ATA Carnet passport. This appears to have taken a similar path. Let us look into the specifics of this intriguing event.
GMC Sierra Spotted India
The video shows a massive white pickup truck with a massive chrome grille with the letters GMC emblazoned on it. Due to shops extending out into the streets, it can barely fit through the streets. It appears to be a typical Bazar, with small shopkeepers displaying their wares to attract customers. In fact, a girl is seen sitting on her scooty, making Sierra’s movement even more difficult. Following shots show the Sierra passing through the city, at crossroads and small alleys just barely making it. Needless to say, it draws the attention of onlookers wherever it goes. (Ambien) It had to have arrived via Carnet.
A Temporary Admission Permit (ATA Carnet) allows anyone from any country to import or export non-perishable goods without paying any tax or duty. It is a widely recognised international customs document that is not difficult to obtain. It is valid for one year from the date of issuance and allows multiple entries into multiple countries during that time period. The World Customs Organization (WCO) and the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) through its World Chambers Federation jointly administer the ATA Carnet.
Specs
The GMC Sierra comes in a variety of powertrain options. This includes a 310-hp 4-cylinder turbo diesel, a 355-hp 5.3-litre V8, and a 420-hp 6.2-litre V8. The first engine comes mated to an 8-speed automatic gearbox, while the other two have a 10-speed automatic gearbox. The Sierra comes in various body types including Single Cab, Double Can or a 4-door Crew Cab with plenty of off-roading abilities and impressive towing capacities.
