Tata Pixel concept

The Tata Pixel concept was recently unveiled at the 81st Geneva Motor Show. This new city car concept for Europe is based on the Tata Nano, the World's cheapest car.

Featuring scissor doors, the car boasts of what they term as "zero turn toroidal traction drive infinitely variable transmission (IVT)" which enhances the car's ability to manoeuvre and park in the tightest of spaces with a turning circle radius of just 2.6 metres.

The Pixel is powered by a 1.2-litre three-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine which gives an economical 3.4 l/100km with CO2 emissions of just 89g/km.

Tata Indica Vista EVX manufactured in Coventry

The Tata Indica Vista EVX was developed at the Tata Motors European Technical Centre (TMETC) based at Warwick University by a 230-strong team of engineers who worked on the project for four years.







The Tata Motors European Technical Centre (TMETC) was set up at the University of Warwick, Coventry in 2005.



Anyway, the car won two awards at the inaugural Royal Automobile Club (RAC) Brighton to London Future Car Challenge in September last year, namely the the Most Economic Small Passenger Electric Vehicle (EV) and the Most Economical and Environment Friendly Small Passenger EV.







The Indica Vista EVX completed the journey from Brighton to London at a cost of only £1.35. The same journey would cost around £6.17 for a comparable sized petrol engine car.



The new Indica Vista EVX is now being manufactured at Tata's secret location in the Walsgrave area of Coventry.
