Tata Motors today showcased a new city car concept called Tata Pixel at Geneva Motor Show for Europe market. Based on the Tata Nano,the Tata Pixel – at just over three metres in length – is the most package efficient four-seater in the world.
“Tata Motors holds true to its belief that there is an opportunity in Europe for a city car,which is optimal in space,manoeuvrability and environment-friendliness. The Tata Pixel is a reflection of Tata Motors’ idea of what such a car should be,” Tata Motors,Managing Director and Group CEO Carl-Peter Forster said in a statement.
The Tata Pixel’s ability to manoeuvre and park in the tightest of spaces is made possible by its zero turn toroidal traction-drive Infinitely Variable Transmission (IVT),which assists rotation of the outer rear wheel forwards and the inner rear wheel backwards,while the front wheels turn at acute angles,it said.
Taking its pursuit of electric vehicles forward,Tata Motors is also displaying the Tata Indica Vista Electric Vehicle at the Motor Show’s Green Pavilion. The Tata Indica Vista EV will be made available to fleet customers this summer in the UK,the statement said.
Tata Pixel price is yet to be announced by Tata Motors.
