Nano stands for superior technology and small in
size. This is what this car depicts and hence the
name Nano. GROUP 9

11. What makes the TATA NANO so
global !!!
GROUP 9

12. The People’s Car, designed with a family in mind, has a
roomy passenger compartment with generous leg space
and head room. It can comfortably seat four persons.
Four doors with high seating position make ingress and
egress easy.

13. Unlike other low cost Indian cars, this one is going to have a
variomatic gear system. Instead of manual gear box in conventional
cars it is coming up as gear less or rather with an automatic gear
transmission. This helps to improve the efficiency & mileage by
magnifying the torque output.

14. Fuel
Efficiency
 The People’s Car has a rear-wheel drive, all-
aluminum, two-cylinder, 623 cc, 33 PS, multi point
fuel injection petrol engine. This is the first time
that a two-cylinder gasoline engine is being used in a
car with single balancer shaft.

15. Safety &
Comfort
GROUP 9
 By adhering to the fact
that less weight
requires less power, the
1 lakh car is made of
light weighing steel. This
has made the Tatas
come up with a cheap
alternative with out
compromising on safety
and performance

16. Controversies
Involved
 Controversies also arose about Tata's planned manufacturing
unit for the car in Singur, West Bengal, where the state
government of West Bengal has allocated 997 acres (4.03 km²)
to Tata Motors. The construction of the car factory on that
tract of land will require fertile agricultural land and the
expropriation and eviction of ca. 15,000 peasants and
agricultural workers.
GROUP 9

17. Critics
 Among its notable critics are columnists from the New
York Times, Newsweek, and several media outlets. Only a
few years ago, author and NYT columnist Thomas
Friedman wrote that the world was divided into those who
want a Toyota Lexus and those who are searching for an
olive tree (in his book The Lexus and the Olive Tree).

sizes and were definitely noticed.
