<p>The Tata ACE Mega has been designed and developed for maximising revenues of the transport operator by ensuring more trips, more load carrying capability in low turnaround time and meeting requirements of both, intra and intercity transportation and can be easily driven on any kind of terrain. The vehicle is strategically designed to perform all tasks of a small pick-up and hence will be an all-rounder in this segment, helping the operator elevate his/her business.</p>
<p>Launched at a price of INR 4.31 Lakhs, ex-showroom, Thane, the Tata ACE Mega is available in an attractive Azure Blue color. This power-packed small pick-up will be available for sale initially, in seven states Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Orissa, West Bengal and Tamil Nadu, and will expand to other states in a phased manner.</p>
<p>According to Mr. Ravi Pisharody, Executive Director, Commercial Vehicle Business Unit, Tata Motors Ltd., &#8220;Tata Motors has been a pioneer in creating and growing the Small Commercial Vehicle market in India with its varied portfolio in this segment. With the advantage of being the market leader in the segment, we know our customer requirements very well and the ACE Mega is one such product which emerges out of our in-depth knowledge and consumer insight. With the introduction of the ACE Mega, we are confident that it will become a key business partner for millions of entrepreneurs and market load operators across the country. Like other members of the Tata ACE family, it will strongly contribute to an entrepreneur&#8217;s bottom line of business operations and progressively increase the top line with segment-leading uptime.&#8221;</p>
<p>Tata Motors continues to develop its commercial vehicle products based on the three core vectors of DesigNext, PerformanceNext and FuelNext to cater to the evolving needs of our customers.

The light weight Aluminium engine and the smartly calibrated 5-speed gearbox facilitate a smooth drive and enhance fuel efficiency. Large brakes ensures best-in-class brake efficiency &amp; longer life of the vehicle. The strong and rugged front and rear leaf-spring suspensions and axles make the Tata ACE Mega the perfect vehicle for varied load and road conditions. Best-in-class speed of 90 KMPH ensures more trips due to the low turnaround time. In an economic environment where the cost of fuel is the biggest expense in business, the Tata ACE Mega, will offer the Indian customer, best-in-class fuel efficiency of 18.5 kmpl**.</p>
<p>Aesthetically designed in-house, the Tata ACE Mega comes with a comfortable cabin with an ergonomically located driver console, glovebox with lock, provision for music system, mobile charging facility, digital clock and full fabric seats. Features such as leaf spring suspension with rigid axles both in the front and rear, truck-like construction, 7&#8243; vacuum booster in the braking system, etc., make the Tata ACE Mega the most suitable vehicle for various applications. On the exterior, stylish body colored bumper, new front protective wheel arch eyebrows, new sporty body graphics, wide angle ORVM on both sides further accentuate the vehicle&#8217;s stance.</p>
<p>Designed to deliver maximum customer value, the Tata ACE Mega offers a rated payload of 1 ton with a new reinforced load body. The vehicle also offers a suitable cargo load deck size for market load operation. 14 inch tyres, high ground clearance of 175 mm and gradeability of 30% ensure the stability of the vehicle on varied load and road conditions.</p>
<p>The service and maintenance attributes of the vehicle guarantee peace of mind to its customers. With over 1,800 service touch points and a workshop on an average at every 50 Km, Tata Motors has the widest service network in the country. The vehicle also comes with an assured warranty of 2 years/ 72,000 kilometers (whichever is earlier).</p>
<p>The Tata ACE, an engineering marvel, was launched in 2005, when Tata Motors recognized a latent customer need to create a completely new market segment to pioneer the concept of mini-truck in India. It has since remained among the most preferred choices of Indian entrepreneurs and small businesses, leading the market with over 80% market-share. Highlighting the success of this path-breaking innovation, the Tata ACE family has surpassed the 1.5 million sales mark, globally, in these ten years. Today, one in every five commercial vehicle sold in India, is from the Tata ACE Family. This family has constantly evolved, strategically identifying and filling gaps in the market ahead of its time. The platform has thus far produced about 12 offerings, based on engine type, engine power, body configurations and in its 10th successful year has added yet another innovative transport solution the Tata ACE Mega.</p>
<p>The ACE family has helped uplift many lives and has been a strong contributor to the growth of many entrepreneurs and small scale businesses in India. With the largest and still growing network strength in place, new launches and specific marketing interventions, Tata Motors continues to be the dominant player in the SCV &amp; Last mile transport space, making huge strides in this segment.</p>

<p>Mumbai, February 12, 2014: Westport Innovations (TSX:WPT / NASDAQ:WPRT), engineering the world’s most advanced natural gas engines and vehicles, and Tata Motors Limited, India’s largest automobile company, today launched a new spark-ignited (SI) natural gas 3.8L turbocharged engine featuring the Westport WP580 Engine Management System (EMS). Designed to support many engine configurations, the Westport WP580 EMS is also scheduled to be applied to Tata’s 5.7L engine targeting medium-duty applications in late 2014.</p>
<p><span id="more-90544"></span></p>
<p>“By combining our unique technology and Tata’s leadership in India’s commercial vehicles market, we are able to introduce new natural gas products and target the mainstream transportation markets in one of the world’s fastest growing markets for natural gas vehicles,” said Thomas Rippon, Executive Vice President of Westport. “The Westport WP580 offers breakthrough price, performance, and flexibility for OEMs allowing them to use this advanced technology even in cost-effective markets such as China and India.”</p>
<p>“India has one of the largest natural gas light-duty vehicle fleets in the world, and we see an enormous opportunity for natural gas trucks and buses with the development of fueling infrastructure,” said Rajendra Petkar, Head Power Systems Engineering, ERC of Tata Motors. “By expanding our portfolio of natural gas engines, we are focused on increasing our market share of the natural gas vehicle and engine market.”</p>
<p>The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) indicates that India is the fourth largest energy consumer in the world. Vehicles are the country’s second-largest consumer of energy (18%) after industry (42%), according to Thomson Reuters Foundation, and rising vehicle numbers and fuel prices have implications both for India’s economy and its energy security. Westport believes that the adoption of natural gas as a transportation fuel will help reduce India’s dependence on petroleum to meet the country’s energy demand and improve local air quality challenges. Building upon Westport’s natural gas components and aftermarket business in India, Westport is now establishing its OEM footprint with Tata Motors.</p>
<p>The Westport WP580 EMS is a highly configurable system that has been specifically developed for spark ignited, dedicated natural gas engine applications and can be integrated with a wide range of proprietary Westport fuel system components for flexible vehicle design and production. Its advanced combustion control technology can optimize the engine for class leading fuel economy, torque, and power while meeting existing and future emissions and onboard diagnostic requirements. Westport has also set a new benchmark with the WP580, with</p>
<p>industry leading price performance and value, allowing natural gas vehicles to be competitively priced with petroleum-based vehicles.</p>
<h2>Key features of Westport WP580 EMS:</h2>
<ul>
<li> Unique engine control strategies: The Westport WP580 EMS is specifically tailored to maximize the performance of the base engine. Key benefits include reduced fuel consumption and emissions, increased vehicle load carrying capabilities with launch torque, and integrated vehicle functionality.</li>
<li>Compatible and cost-effective design with natural gas components: With proven OEM track record, these natural gas components such as electronic control units and spark plugs have been fully validated for the application and manufactured to automotive industry quality standards resulting in high levels of reliability and lower cost.</li>
<li>Meeting current and future emissions profile: The system is designed to meet Euro VI emission standards.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Tata’s SI natural gas 3.8L turbocharged engine featuring the Westport WP580 EMS was displayed at India’s Auto Expo in New Delhi, India, from February 7 to 11.</p>
<h2>Market Opportunity</h2>
<p>India is one of the world’s largest commercial vehicles markets. Its total annual light-duty vehicle fleet and commercial sales are projected to reach over 204,000 units in 2014 according to the Natural Gas Vehicles report published by Navigant Research in June 2013. In addition, its total annual medium- and heavy-duty truck and bus sales are projected to reach over 289,000 units in 2014, according to the Natural Gas Trucks and Buses report published by Navigant Research at the end of 2013. Tata’s 3.8L and 5.7L engine with Westport WP580 EMS are primarily targeted for light-duty vehicles and medium-duty buses in India. The combined addressable market is projected to be more than 493,000 units in 2014 based on Westport analysis.</p>
<h2>About Tata Motors</h2>
<p>Tata Motors is India&#8217;s largest automobile company, with consolidated revenues of Rs. 1,88,818 crores ($ 34.7 billion) in 2012-13. Through subsidiaries and associate companies, Tata Motors has operations in the UK, South Korea, Thailand, South Africa and Indonesia.

<p><a href="https://carsite.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Nano-Twist.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-86731"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-86731" alt="Nano Twist" src="https://carsite.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Nano-Twist.jpg" width="1980" height="1188" srcset="https://carsite.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Nano-Twist.jpg 1980w, https://carsite.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Nano-Twist-150x90.jpg 150w, https://carsite.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Nano-Twist-300x180.jpg 300w, https://carsite.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Nano-Twist-1024x614.jpg 1024w, https://carsite.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Nano-Twist-600x360.jpg 600w, https://carsite.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Nano-Twist-684x410.jpg 684w, https://carsite.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Nano-Twist-780x468.jpg 780w, https://carsite.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Nano-Twist-750x450.jpg 750w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1980px) 100vw, 1980px" /></a></p>
<h2>Experience Zigzagness:</h2>
<p>The new Electric Power Assisted Steering (EPAS) system comprises of a steering column-mounted brushless motor and an ECU (Electronic Control Unit), which helps the driver steer the Nano Twist with ease, regardless of the road conditions. The brushless motor used, also improves robustness of the internal components of the Nano Twist’s EPAS system. The new EPAS system also allows the driver to fully utilise the Nano’s class-leading, lowest turning circle radius of 4 metres. The EPAS in the Nano Twist has an ‘Active Return’ feature &#8211; which returns the steering wheel back to its straight-ahead position, as soon as the wheel is released. This is achieved by providing a calibrated return torque through the system. This self-centering action gives drivers confidence and stability at higher speeds thus delivering a great drive experience in city traffic.</p>
<p>The Nano Twist is powered by a 624cc, multi-point fuel injected, water cooled, naturally aspirated, 2 cylinder gasoline engine with 2 valves per cylinder, mated to a 4-speed manual transmission. The engine produces 38PS power, 51 Nm torque. The Nano continues to remain as the most fuel efficient petrol car, as the Nano range offers a fuel efficiency of 25.4 kmpl, as certified by the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI).</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">The XENON XT DC 4&#215;4 is an apt adventure bakkie that confidently yearns for the challenge of the roughest 4&#215;4 terrain. It has a maximum gradeability of 78% and restartability of 60%, which means it empowers you to conquer virtually any steep slope. . This coupled with the heady torque of 320 Nm available from RPMs as low as 1500 and over a wide range (1500 to 3000 rpm) enables it to tackle the most challenging 4&#215;4 trails. Another useful aspect of this bakkie is the “Shift on the Fly” feature. This feature allows the driver to change into 4&#215;2 or a 4&#215;4 drive without having to come to a complete stop. Xenon XT double cab has an automatic differential lock that enhances its off road capability. The diff lock kicks in as soon as the sensors sense an RPM difference of 100 or more between the two rear wheels, allowing the driver to pull out of a potentially tricky situation. Xenon XT single cab has a Limited slip differential (LSD) that helps it to pull away from slippery or wet surfaces, reduces the chances of getting stuck in mud and mire on difficult terrain.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">With Xenon XT, one can experience wild outdoors in the cushioned comfort and safety of it’s indoors. Extra care has been taken to ensure driver and passenger safety with advanced features for both active and passive safety. Xenon XT provides increased safety during collision. It comes with standard dual airbags (driver + passenger) and crash worthy seat belts with RPLL (Retractors, Pre-tensioners &amp; Load Limiters) that increase the safety of the occupants in the event of a crash. The Xenon XT also has one of the strongest chassis in its class, offering an overall structure that is strong and safe. Multiple crumple zones and side impact beams help maintain passenger survival space even in the event of a collision. Also for enhanced safety, in case of a frontal impact, the steering column collapses thereby protecting the driver from injury. A steel thickness of 0.8-1.5 mm for the body and a 3 layered structure made from corrugated double galvanised steel provide further strength and safety. With the use of latest technology and advanced computer aided engineering systems, a maximum strength structure has been developed using the monocoque body on a chassis frame. Xenon XT provides safe braking. It comes standard with ABS (Anti Lock Braking System) that prevents the wheels from locking and skidding during emergency braking conditions. It also has a short braking distance. Xenon XT has a twin circuit braking system for emergency. If there is any problem with one of the circuits, another one will be used to stop the vehicle. Standard front and rear fog lamps add to the active safety features of Xenon XT. Front fog lamps provide increased visibility while driving in fog. Rear fog lamps serve as high-intensity rear position lamps in poor visibility conditions to enhance vehicle visibility for traffic approaching from behind.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Xenon XT has been designed not only for extreme performance but also to give a comfortable driving experience with low NVH (Noise, Vibration and Harshness). With electric windows, power steering, navigation, bluetooth, radio, MP3, side steps, bucket seats with armrests, tiltable steering column etc., Xenon XT is truly a resort on wheels.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Xenon XT helps you make a distinctive style statement. Its European styling gives a pleasant feel to the vehicle. The front signature Tata chrome grill and attractive clear lens headlamps are complimented by flared wheel arches. Alloy wheels, stylish pull type door handles, indicators on side rear view mirrors, attractive colours &amp; stylish interiors further add to the oomph quotient of the Xenon XT.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Xenon XT will help take the extra load off your shoulders. It has a ladder frame chassis which is one of the strongest in its class and more durable than the competition. Tata being a leader in steel making, has ensured that the best quality steel is used in the manufacturing of the chassis for Xenon XT in order to make it safer, rugged and carry any type of load on any road conditions. With original high raised suspension and wide track coupled with high kerb weight, the center of gravity is low giving good stability to the vehicle and thus good balance. The Xenon XT suspension is designed to give firm road grip, excellent balance and good high speed control even when it’s heavily loaded. This makes Xenon XT suitable for all applications on all road conditions, capable of climbing steep slopes and negotiating difficult terrains with ease. The rear suspension uses a rigid axle system with several layers of leaf springs to give extra loading capability. The rear load bin is made from double corrugated galvanized steel sheets specially treated with chemicals that offer more strength, durability and rust resistance. Standard bin liner in double cabs makes the open deck floor scratch free so that you can load whatever you like. With all this body strength and pulling torque of 320 Nm, you will get an excellent payload capability of 1225 kgs in Single Cab 4X2 and towing capability of 2200 kgs (4X4). Payload capability of all the Xenon XT variants is given below:</p>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>Xenon XT Single Cab 4X2: 1225 kg</li>
<li>Xenon XT Single Cab 4X4: 1135 kg</li>
<li>Xenon XT Double Cab 4X2: 1015 kg</li>
<li>Xenon XT Double Cab 4X4: 975 kg</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Xenon XT comes with peace of mind offerings that are better than most of the competition in the market. With the 5 yrs/ 90 000 km service plan, 4 yrs/120 000 km vehicle warranty, 4 yrs/120 000 km anti corrosion warranty  &amp; 4 yrs, unlimited km roadside assistance, Xenon XT offers complete peace of mind.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The icing on the cake is that the Xenon XT with its eXTreme features also provides complete value for money. For example: All the eXTra top class features in the Xenon XT double cab 4X2 compared to the existing Xenon double 4X2 (increased power, two air bags, diff lock, navigation, Bluetooth, increased warranty, complimentary accessories like side steps, bin liner etc.) is worth R41 500 but Xenon XT double cab 4X2 is priced only R11500 more than the Xenon double cab 4X2; providing customers an additional value of R 30,000.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Xenon XT is a unique vehicle having the combination of high end features and exceptional value for money. This makes it an ideal bakkie for segments like family &amp;leisure, farming, mining, construction, small businesses, municipalities etc. Its excellent off-roading capabilities also make it an ideal vehicle for 4X4 enthusiasts.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The new Xenon XT also has a laundry list of accessories that can help you customize it to the hilt. You can enhance its utility and aggressive stance with nudge guard, bull bar, roll bar, tow bar, rear nudge guard, tonneaue cover, canopy etc.</p>
