After buying Jaguar and saying: “Tata!” to England, the little company has been working on an electric vehicle.
So what’s so special about it? Well after the company buying Jaguar, (shock! Gasp!) it started to make headway in the economy vehicle world with small affordable cars. Unfortunately, they did not meet international safety norms. And following Tesla’s news it would also build in Norway, Tata decided to do the same.
Deciding to build in Norway makes sense as one of Scandinavia’s environmentally conscious countries, what was surprising was deciding to build and EV on the Indica platform and not the Nano, as many thought.
Norway? After that country brought us news of its Th!nk car and the famed Kewet, yes, you’ve seen or heard about it late 1970s, Norway,as a place to build EV makes sense.
According to the Hindusan Times, the Tata Indica is: “Aimed mainly at city driving, Tata Motors’ electric car is a part of its larger project on developing eco-friendly vehicles.”
Apparently, Tata is on the move and is planning a step by step in the ever growing presence in the EV world. More on Tata here.
