With Electric Vehicles (EVs) and hybrid vehicles becoming a major segment in world automotive segments, the Indian automobile major Tata Motors is reportedly trying to up the game. It was said that Tata Motors is aiming to manufacture a car, Tata Megapixel that can deliver up to 100 kilometer from a litre of fuel by using a unique combination of technology. At the Geneva Motor Show the company presented the Megapixel.
It was reported that the company, which surprised the world with 'Rs 1 lakh car' Nano, today unveiled the concept vehicle which is a four-seater global range extended electric vehicle (REEV) meant for city driving. The new innovation from the house of Tata’s is likely to be commercially launched in around three years from now. Tata Group Chairman Ratan Tata was quoted as saying "Realistically such products take at least 3 years to develop. There are lots of electric technologies to be developed, besides many other things."
As mentioned in the reports, the vehicle combines a lithium ion phosphate battery and an on-board petrol engine generator for recharging on the move. The company said that the Tata Megapixel offers a range of up to 900 km (with a single tank of fuel) and fuel economy of 100 km/litre (under battery only power). It also said the car will have CO2 emission of "just 22 gm/km". Last year at the 81st Geneva Motor Show, Tata Motors had unveiled Tata Pixel, a city car concept for Europe. Pixel is yet to be commercially launched, it was mentioned.Automobile News
