The dropping sales of the Tata Nano have made the officials at Tata Motors think of the new target audience. Recently, the company has revealed its plans of providing the Nano to the Mumbai police as their patrolling vehicle. As per the media reports, TATA Motors offered its services to the Mumbai Police by providing a model for testing when approached by the Mumbai Police Commissioner. The senior officials of Mumbai Police have stated only after the testing of the vehicle, the deal will be made.
As explained by the senior officer, the reason behind choosing Nano as the patrolling vehicle is that the car will take lesser parking space and will easily move through the narrow lanes of Mumbai. Tata Nano will be advantageous over the patrolling bikes as storing the weapons and communication equipment in the car will be easier. This step of Mumbai Police to use Tata Nano as their patrolling vehicle is going to be beneficial for both the Tata Motors and the Mumbai Police.
Addressing the media, senior police officers said, “We use motorcycles to do patrolling in narrow lanes in the city. However, Nano car has more than one advantage, while it takes less parking space as compared to other Sedan cars, it can replace bikes as far as doing night patrolling is concerned and weapons can also be stored in the duct of the car. ”
The decision of Mumbai Police to adopt Nano as their official vehicle can be a welcoming relief for the constables who need to be on duty at the unearthly hours. Tata Nano is having many advantages and this decision to use it as their vehicle can act as a fruitful one. With the launch of Nano as the patrolling car of the Mumbai Police, Tata Motors can hope to increase its sales.
