At a time
when fuel protection is becoming essential across the world, India's Tata
Motorsis aiming to make a car, Tata Megapixel that can deliver up to 100 kilometers
from a litre of fuel by using a unique combination of technology.
The
company, which surprised the world with 'Rs one lakh car' Nano, on Tuesday
unveiled the concept vehicle which is a four-seater global range extensive
electric vehicle (REEV) meant for city driving.
The new improvement
from the house of Tatas is likely to be commercially launched in around three
years from now.
"Realistically
such products take at least 3 years to expand. There are lots of electric
technologies to be urbanized, besides many other things," Tata Group
Chairman Ratan Tata said after unveiling the vehicle at the Geneva Motor Show.
The
vehicle combines a lithium ion phosphate battery and an on-board petrol engine producer
for recharging on the move. According to the company, Tata Megapixel offers a
range of up to 900 km (with a single tank of fuel) and fuel wealth of 100
km/litre (under battery only power).
It also
said the car will have CO2 release of "just 22 gm/km".
Last year
at the 81st Geneva Motor Show Tata Motors had unveiled Tata Pixel, a city car notion
for Europe. Pixel is yet to be commercially launched.
Speaking
during the unveiling of Megapixel, Tata Motors organization Director - India
Operations Prakash M Telang said: "The Tata Megapixel, urbanized by our
design centres in India, the UK and Italy, is our idea of a city car for discriminating
motorists in any megacity of the world. It is a result of the growth we have
made on the Tata Pixel, displayed last year, and also denotes the company?s
future design direction."
