Tata Motors is readying its new electric vehicle Tata Indica Vista EV for the international market, starting with the UK. The car was recently showcased at London Future Car Challenge and won two of the prestigious awards including the Most Economic Small Passenger EV and the Most Economical & Environment Friendly Small Passenger EV. The company is now working on finalising the prototype and gearing up for an official launch soon next year.
Tata Indica Vista will compete in the international market with models like Chevrolet Volt and Nissan Leaf which look like the most promising new models amongst electric vehicles. Indica Vista EV is also looking upon competing with the hybrid vehicles like Toyota Prius and Honda Civic which are extremely popular hybrid models in their segment.
The new Tata Indica Vista EV will be manufactured in the UK where Tata Motors has applied for GBP 10 million pound loan from the UK government. The vehicle is being developed by engineers from Tata Motors’ UK subsidiary Tata Motors European Technical Centre.
