The ex-showroom Delhi cost of all-new version of the Indigo sedan, to become available Friday onwards, will be Rs 4.8 lakh for the base petrol model and Rs. 6.75 lakh for the top-end diesel model.
The new Indigo Manza, which has been developed on the same platform as the new generation Indica Vista, will be available countrywide through 224 dealerships and 493 outlets of Tata Motors.
Describing the new Manza as a modern, contemporary sedan, the Tata Motors' Chairman Ratan N Tata said that the car has been built on a platform which can potentially emerge as a class leader.
Energine Corporation, of Korea, claimed that it was going to deliver a hybrid compressed-air/electric car, only to see its CEO arrested for making exaggerated claims.
K’Airmobiles, a French company, were another compressed air concept, but it never saw the light of day. The company was unable to procure the necessary funding, and the engineers who worked on the project, ultimately admitted that the inherent efficiency and low-running-temperature problems made the project unfea sible.
In 2010, Honda showed off the Honda Air concept car, a 1,000-pound, 4-passenger car, made out of composite materials. (While the concept sounds good, in theory, I would hazard a guess that the high price of the composite materials used in this car would make it unable to compete with other alternatively-fueld vehicles.)
The TaTa Air Car concept engine was developed by Motor Development International (“MDI”), of France, with the backing of Tata. (This version of a compressed air engine has been in development for over 20 years.) Zero Pollution Motors holds a license to produce the cars in the U.S. market.Read More
