Tata Nano Car, Detroit Auto Show and violates safety regulations

By: Daniel Chubb | January 15, 2008 | 50 Comments

Tata Nano Car

The Tata Nano Car has changed the automotive world forever, the $2,500 car was not even at the Detroit Auto Show but it was the most talked about car there.

Bloomberg are reporting that India’s latest car would “violate emissions and safety regulations in the U.S., Japan and Europe”.

Although we are getting comments from all over the world which are mostly positive, everyone seems to want the Tata Nano from many countries, but Auto Executives are claiming “The Nano wouldn’t meet consumer expectations in developed countries” and the main reason they give is creature comforts such as air conditioning.

I am sure they are forgetting that this car is designed for people that cannot afford cars or want a low priced car (i.e. not a lot of luxuries). I guess these Auto Executives are scared of the Nano Car.

    This is getting ridiculous and plain stupid.
    This car is for the Indian middle class market.
    It is NOT meant to be shipped stock to Europe and USA. TATA will evolve or make changes to this car if it decides to do that.TATAs already know what the us/europe marrkets want – it ahs been doing that with TCS , Corus, Tetley etc for years .
    What part dont these nano brained columnists get???

  • syed nusrath

    i want the camplite detail of nano car

  • A Caveat

    I think that the nano is great in many ways, but would be so MUCH better if fully electric… the environmental impact this car could be huge and really increase the per capita carbon footprint in India, which is currently in the bottom five. (and that’s a list not to be at the top of!)

    Incredible Tata , awesome work!

  • Rattandeep

    If you look at past, when Indica was launched. At that time, indica was just appreciated very much for its design and look though Indica faced many trouble after launch. Later on TATA launch V2.

    TATAs again made a History by making World’s cheapest car which is not only very good and elegant in design but also One of the most fuel efficient car and also meet meet EURO-4 norms.

    I think, people will face Least troubles with NANO because TATAs has learned a lot from Indica.

    This also shows that India is growing not only in One segment but also in All the segments and getting lot of appreciation around the world.

    Fuck all of you! Can you imagine the Quality of this car? In spite of Japanese Technical Suppport, look at the Quality of Maruti Suzuki 800, which is triple the coast of this. Thanks God, Deawoo Collapsed before Matiz started manufactured in India. No small car can be compared with this Little Giant. Anything Produced in India Does not have Fit And Finish, no matter with whom it has collaboration! It’s build Quality will worst than an Auto Riskshow…..

  • PerfectDeath

    This car is designed to get Indians to become addicted to cars, thus allowing those Arabic Princes who subsidize the Nano’s price to make a fortune on oil. They don’t plan to market the Nano to North America + Europe because we are already addicted to cars. They plan to sell if for 2-4,000 MORE in NA and EUR.

  • someone

    This car is nade up of tin and looks like a piece of garbage. Poor indians have the habit of braging and telling all kinds of lies about their dirty country.

  • jack

    nice car

  • Thomas Bailey

    Anything wrong with bikes? They are much less expensive, zero emissions, and capable of adequate speeds. They also provide a good aerobic workout. As for energy efficiency, bikes beat everything, and have done so for 120+ years.
    Can you imagine: a 3000 MPG vehicle for about $200-300, zero emissions, and 12 can fit in a parking space. Pretty much all that is missing is protection from the weather, which shouldn’t be much of a problem in the San Francisco Bay Area, as it rarely rains, temperatures are rarely extreme, then only briefly.

  • Ed Morgan
