History
Tata Motors is a part of the Tata Group manages its share-holding through Tata Sons. The company expanded its operations to commercial vehicle sector in 1954 after forming a joint venture with Daimler-Benz AG of Germany. Despite the success of its commercial vehicles, Tata realized his company had to diversify and he began to look at other products. Based on consumer demand, he decided that building a small car would be the most practical new venture. So in 1998 it launched Tata Indica, India's first fully indigenous passenger car. Designed to be inexpensive and simple to build and maintain, the Indica became a hit in the Indian market. It was also exported to Europe, especially the UK. Tata acquired Spanish bus and coach manufacturer Hispano Carrocera in 2009. In 2006 it formed a joint venture with Marco polo S.A. of Brazil, and introduced low-floor buses in the Indian Market under the name Tata Marco polo Bus. Recently, it has acquired British Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), which includes the Daimler and Blanchester brand names.

It was Tata Motors, which developed the first indigenously developed Light Commercial Vehicle, India's first Sports Utility Vehicle and, in 1998, the Tata Indica, India's first fully indigenous passenger car. Within two years of launch, Tata Indica became India's largest selling car in its segment. In 2005, Tata Motors created a new segment by launching the Tata Ace, India's first indigenously developed minitruck. In January 2008, Tata Motors unveiled its People's Car, the Tata Nano, which India and the world have been looking Forward to. The Tata Nano has been subsequently launched, as planned, in India in March 2009. A development, which
signifies a first for the global automobile industry, the Nano brings the comfort and safety of a car within the reach of thousands of families. Designed with a family in mind, it has a roomy passenger compartment with generous leg space and head room. It can comfortably seat four persons. Its mono-volume design will set a new benchmark among small cars. Its safety performance exceeds regulatory requirements in India. Its tailpipe emission performance too exceeds regulatory requirements. In terms of overall pollutants, it has a lower pollution level than two-wheelers being manufactured in India today. The lean design strategy has helped minimize weight, which helps maximize performance per unit of energy consumed and delivers high fuel efficiency. The high fuel efficiency also ensures that the car has low carbon dioxide emissions, thereby providing the twin benefits of an affordable transportation solution with a low carbon footprint. In May 2009, Tata Motors ushered in a new era in the Indian automobile industry, in keeping with its pioneering tradition, by unveiling its new range of world standard trucks called Prima. In their power, speed, carrying capacity, operating economy and trims, they will introduce new benchmarks in India and match the best in the world in performance at a lower life-cycle cost. In October 2010, Tata Motors launched the Tata Aria, the first Indian four-wheel drive crossover. The Tata Aria redefines several benchmarks with its design and technologies, offering class leading features that take comfort and safety to a new height. Tata Motors is equally focused on environment-friendly technologies in emissions and alternative fuels. It has developed electric and hybrid vehicles both for personal and public transportation. It has also been implementing several environment-friendly technologies in manufacturing processes; significantly enhancing resource conservation. With the foundation of its rich heritage, Tata Motors today is etching a refulgent future.
The 2nd generation Tata Indica V2's fuel economy, powerful engine and aggressive marketing strategy made it one of the best selling cars in the history of the Indian automobile industry. After years of dominating the commercial vehicle market in India, Tata Motors entered the passenger vehicle market in 1991 by launching the Tata Sierra, a multi utility vehicle. After the launch of three more vehicles, Tata Estate (1992, a station wagon design based on the earlier 'Tata Mobile' (1989), a light commercial vehicle), Tata Sumo (LCV, 1994) and Tata Safari
(1998, India's first sports utility vehicle). Tata launched the Indica in 1998, the first fully indigenous.
Jaguar XJ
Tata Marco Polo released a low-floor bus in India and now it is widely used as public transport in Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kanpur, Bangalore, Chandigarh and Lucknow. Tata Motors has formed a 51:49 joint venture in bus body building with Marcopolo S.A. of Brazil. This joint venture is to manufacture and assemble fully built buses and coaches targeted at developing mass rapid transportation systems.
Tata Nano
In January 2008, Tata Motors launched Tata Nano, the least expensive production car in the world at about 120,000 (US$3,000). The city car was unveiled during the Auto Expo 2008 exhibition in Pragati Maidan, New Delhi. Tata has faced controversy over developing the Nano as some environmentalists are concerned that the launch of such a low-priced car could lead to mass motorization in India with adverse effects on pollution and global warming. Tata had set up a factory in Sanand, Gujarat and the first Nanos were rolled out in summer 2009. .Tata Ace
Tata Ace was India's first mini truck Tata Ace, India's first indigenously developed sub-one ton mini-truck, was launched in May 2005. The mini-truck was a huge success in India with auto-analysts claiming that Ace had changed the dynamics of the light commercial vehicle (LCV) market in the country by creating a new market segment termed the small commercial vehicle (SCV) segment. Ace rapidly emerged as the first choice for transporters and single truck owners for city and rural transport.
Tata One CAT Motor Development International of France has developed the world's first prototype of a compressed air car, named One CAT. In 2007, MDI owner Guy Niger was reported to have "the backing of Tata" It has air tanks that can be filled in 4 hours by plugging the car into a standard electrical plug. In 2008 MDI planned to also design a gas station compressor, which would fill the tanks in 3
minutes There are no gasoline costs and no fossil fuel emissions from the vehicle when run in town, but "the compressed air driving the pistons can be boosted by a fuel burner The lack of a combustion engine means no oil to change either. The Mini CAT requires only one liter of vegetable oil that needs replacing about every 30,000 miles.
Electric vehicles
Tata Motors unveiled the electric versions of passenger car Tata Indica and commercial vehicle Tata Ace. Both run on lithium batteries. The company has indicated that the electric Indica would be launched locally in India in about 2010, without disclosing the price. The vehicle would be launched in Norway in 2009 Tata Motors' UK subsidiary, Tata Motors European Technical Centre, has bought a 50.3% holding in electric vehicle technology firm Milfoil Greenland/Innovasjon of Norway for US$1.93 million, which specializes in the development of innovative solutions for electric vehicles, and plans to launch the electric Indica hatchback in Europe next year.
