Tata Motors has unveiled concept vehicle which is a four-seater global range extended electric vehicle (REEV) meant for city driving. This has come at a time when fuel conservation is becoming important across the globe. Tata Motors is planning to make a car, Tata Megapixel that can deliver up to 100 kilometre from one litre of fuel with the use of a unique combination of technology.
The new car is expected to be commercially unveiled in almost three years from now.
Mr Ratan Tata, Chairman of Tata Motors, said, “Realistically such products take at least 3 years to develop. There are lots of electric technology to be developed, besides many other things.” The car has been unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show. Tata Megapixel provides a range of up to 900 km (with a single tank of fuel) and fuel economy of 100 km/litre (under battery only power).
The car will be having CO2 emission of ‘just 22 gm/km’. Last year at the 81st Geneva Motor Show, Tata Motors had introduced Tata Pixel, a city car concept for Europe. Pixel is yet to be commercially launched.
