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

roomy passenger compartment with generous leg space

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.

GROUP 9
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).

segments of the market, from youngsters to senior
citizens. Attractive, small yet comfortable.

Place (distribution): With the existing Tata dealers
and roping in its other business lines like Westside,
Croma , Titan stores, the distribution was never an
issue for Nano.
Promotion: Coming from the Tata’s stable, the Nano
has already created a brand image. The price of the car
has offered enough promotion not only in India but
also globally.
