Stop-Start Tata Nano is Very Cheap
January 4, 2009 by admin · Leave a Comment
Tata is said to be working on a more eco-friendly version of the Nano microcar that will feature stop/start technology and is referring to the machine as a micro hybrid. Stretching the term ‘hybrid’ aside, the technology from Bosch is expected to reduce fuel consumption and improve emissions by up to to 10 percent for an extra few hundred dollars.
A few hundred may not sound like much but it will be a significant increase to the $2,500 price tag, and Tata is worried that the new micro hybrid drivetrain will add too much cost to the car. Tata is also expected to launch diesel and electric versions of the Nano.
