Tata Nano – The Journey is about to begin

With an aim to bring the joy of riding to millions of Indians, Tata Motors India Ltd. unveiled world's cheapest car -Tata Nano, at the Delhi Auto Show held in January 2008. The company revealed that the car has been designed to match the requirements of middle-class Indian families, who aspire to possess mobility, enhanced status and rise in self-esteem and want to pay a small price for their vehicle. Tata Nano has set a trend in the automobile industry of India, debuting a manufacturing era of low cost and eco-friendly automobiles.

Tata's much awaited car Tata Nano has become hot favorite of everyone in such a short period of time. It has indeed recorded phenomenal success and is ruling the car segment in such a short period of time.

Ratan Tata, chairman of the Tata Group, dreamt of producing an affordable 'people's car' for millions of Indians who commute in two-wheelers. The dream turned into a reality when Ratan Tata dazzled the world with the debut of the car at the 2008 Auto Expo in New Delhi.

The intelligently designed Nano is powered by an all-aluminium 623 cc, two-cylinder petrol engine that churns out 32 bhp. The engine is positioned at the rear of the car and this is a key example of the Nano's ingenious frugal engineering.

The rear-mounted engine not only improves efficiency but also dramatically improves safety. The engine is also associated with an exclusive engine control management unit that monitors the working of the engine and boost performance. The electronic system is Bosch's new Value Motronic system that is aimed at providing maximum functionality at minimum cost. The system works in conjunction with the sensors, injectors, and other significant hardware. For the first time a two cylinder engine is used in a car with single balancer shaft.

The Tata Nano is now surprisingly the world's smallest four-seater minicar with simplistic design that delivers the freedom of individual mobility at a cost-effective price. The new small car is expected to create a new history in the journey of automotive discovery.

The engine is further mated to a multi-point injection system and a 4-speed manual transmission. In addition, the McPherson strut suspension in the front and the rear independent coil spring helps improve handling and stability of the car. The Nano can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in about 12 seconds with a maximum speed of 110 km/h.

In the interior, it is brilliantly packed with a host of functional car features. The sense of space, wide windscreen, and high seating arrangement has made the small Nano a pretty comfortable car for city driving. The dash of the car is simple yet elegant with one piece moulding housing the centrally positioned instrumentation. The central console is impressive and inspired by two-wheeler module. Ergonomically, the car is great with adjustable driver's seat and fixed passenger seats. The high-end version of the car is equipped with air-conditioner, power windows, central locking, alloy wheels, and audio system.

The Nano is aerodynamically designed with cost-effective yet beautiful exterior adornments. The clear-lens headlamps, clear-lens tail-lamp cluster, consistent body panel gaps, and large bumper make the tiny little car commanding on road. The structure is built in a way to minimize fuel consumption and improve mileage of the car.

Nano is fitted with a host of advanced safety features like intrusion-resistant doors, crumple zones, seat belts, strong seats and anchorages, and the rear tailgate glass bonded to the body.
