Nano Is Going to Have a Hybrid Twin
Tata Nano was announced as the cheapest car in the world and drew a lot of attention at several auto shows where it has been presented. The little car is made in India and does not qualify for American standards in comfort and safety requirements, but it is still amazing that a vehicle nowadays can cost only $2,000. Even with add-ons for the world market Nano would wind up very inexpensive.
Now Tata is getting even more attention by announcing that there is going to be a hybrid version of the small car. The company president, Ratan Tata thinks there should not only be the vehicles that are cheap at the purchase, but also the ones that are cheap to drive.
The Indian automaker is working on Nano and its hybrid expecting big sales at home territory, because the country has a big demand on low-priced autos. After trying the hybrid in India Tata will go globally with it.
Ratan Tata has not mentioned any date or terms when the hybrid will be in production.
