Tata Technologies vehicle development team head, Kevin Fisher begs to differ if you make a mistake of considering this small car an electrified version of Tata Nano. Because, it is definitely not. He was very particular to drive home the point that keeping the target as $20,000 for the electric car, they intended to develop an all-electric car with the potential to take upon the best of the class electric cars in the international markets.

Innovation at its best, most advanced combined with basic engineering principles and Tata Technologies expertise in delivering the best has resulted in the outcome. The car is ideal for those who are on a look out for a compact four-seater to traverse through the busy roads with utmost ease and capability. The success with this electric car did not come quite easily and had to take full help from 300 engineers across the world along with the inputs and advice from four different units of Tata Technologies, one from its very own Pune plant in India, Detroit in Michigan State of USA, Coventry in UK and Stuttgart in Germany.
