Tata Motors has been one of the oldest automotive brand in the country that has held a strong footing in the automobile market across diverse car segments. The Indian car-maker had recently launched a new Utility vehicle named 'Movus' in two trim variants namely - CX and LX. The Movus MPV has been launched at a starting price tag of Rs 6.99 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi).
As per a latest update on the company, Tata Motors has been working on developing a new 3.0-litre, four-cylinder diesel engine that shall be blessed with common-rail fuel injection technology. The new engine is reportedly being developed at Tata Motors’ Pune based Engineering Research Centre (ERC). Sources have stated, “the new 3.0-litre diesel engine is developed with the objective of achieving weight reduction, ensuring compliance to the stricter emission norms and better fuel efficiency. The said engine design includes the scope for EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) mounts. For example, the air intake manifolds are designed for mounting EGR systems (usually control valves). The new power-train is still largely a prototype as the company is yet to take a decision on its specific end applications and the commercialization process.”
Some of the current generation of vehicles like EX and RX Pickup, EX Crew Cab and Dicor BS IV and the Sumo Gold are powered by a 3.0 Liter diesel engine. The latest engine being developed is stated to be more focused on delivering environment friendly and cleaner power-trains as was seen during the February held Auto Expo event in Delhi where various engine types were showcased by the Indian car-maker.
