Tata unveils world’s cheapest car


Keeping his promise, made four years ago, to deliver a “people’s car,” Tata Group Chairman Ratan Tata unveiled on Thursday the Rs.1-lakh car christened ‘Nano.’

The world’s cheapest car from the Tata Motors stable comes with a rear mounted all-aluminium two-cylinder 623 cc petrol engine, promises a mileage of 20 km per litre, and meets all emission and safety standards.

“The vision was to give the people of India a car which is not produced anywhere else in the world. Through Nano, which denotes high technology and small size, I have tried to provide a reliable mode of transport to every Indian family,” Mr. Tata told an overflowing press conference attended by Indian as well as international media at the inaugural day of the Auto Expo 2008 here.
