The world’s cheapest car, Tata Nano, gave a test drive by driving from the Pantnagar manufacturing unit to hilly town of Gopeshwar. It surprised the residents of Gopeshwar in Chamoli district in Dehra Dun when the car went for a test drive in the town driving down the serpentine and tough hilly roads. According to the company sources, it was one of the toughest tests being conducted by Tata Motors’ engineers. The car is expected to give mileage of 17-20 kmpl in the hilly region.
Most of the countries around the world are getting stricter with fuel consumption and emission norms including Europe and the US. This micro-hybrid technology can b deployed to the vehicles at much lower cost than full hybrid systems. The micro-hybrid technology will also be available in diesel and electric variants of Nano.
