Automotive in India

Cars India as an objective reality

Indian car - this is not science fiction and not an oxymoron. The world does not stand still, and the third world in this regard is no exception.

Since 90-ies of the last century, cars have become part of India in the lives of numerous people throughout Indochina. And if the inhabitants of our Far East is already very close acquaintance with the results of the automotive industry the Middle Kingdom, India still remains for us a homeland of elephants and malaria.

Meanwhile, in India it is machine, not the elephant is a means of transportation. However, the Indian car can not yet boast of any radical design, no heavenly set of features, nor outstanding quality. However, a leading Indian avtostroitelnaya firm Tata Engineering and Locomotive Company (TELCO) does not give up and is making all efforts to promote their products on world markets.

Thus, on international shows regularly appears ruler of Tata vehicles, which, according to developers, should be a popular car in India first and then throughout the region.

Ruler Tata is a set of hechbekov Indica, Indigo sedan and wagon Indigo SW. Specifications are as follows: gasoline engine with 1.4 liters and power of 85 horsepower. Similarly, for diesel engines.

Indian cars are not limited to the term "passenger car". The same Dad produces light and heavy trucks. In short, the whole spectrum of services to a wide range, the target audience is not limited.

Although the world community does not share such optimistic views. This is largely due to the infamous expression "price - quality". So, after the planned reduction of prices due to low demand for products in the UK Indian car costs around 20,000 pounds.

Indian cars can not be called cheap and for the Russian market. Provided that the line of SUVs will be assembled in Russia, estimated average price of the jeep will be around 16 000 dollars.

Such a considerable value of the Indian auto explained the original design. Unlike its neighbors, India has not followed the unceremonious way to copy others' ideas and decided to pay them fairly. As a result, only one five-seat hatchback Tata Mint became an Indian car only by country of origin, for his creation of a hand and the French (the engine was developed by La Moteur Moderne), and the Italians (the design studio made I.De.A).

And as with virtually every model, making the idea of creating a people of the Indian car seems if enforceable, it is not in this century.

In addition, it should be noted creative dishes of manufacturers, which now and then represent to the public, Indian cars conceptual nature. For example, the last time it was a crossover Tata Crossover and pickup Cliffrider.

Now Reva Electric For CompanyJV Hands Group of Bangalore and Damn LLC of USA Developed by Indian car that operates on fuel cells. This prototype operates on a "flexible" platform, which varies in accordance with the size of the hydrogen tank.

The principle of operation is called Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM). This means that electricity is produced through a chemical reaction, involving hydrogen and oxygen.
