A comfortable, safe, all-weather car, high on fuel efficiency & low on emissions

Meets all safety requirements

Environment-friendly

THE NANO - Stylish, comfortable

The People's Car, designed with a

family in mind, has a roomy passenger compartment with generous leg space

and head room. It can comfortably seat four persons. Four

doors with high seating position make

ingress and egress easy.

The People's Car has a rear-wheel drive, all-aluminium, two-cylinder,

623 cc, 33 PS, multi point fuel injection petrol engine. This is the first time that a two-cylinder gasoline engine is being used in a car with single balancer shaft. The lean design strategy has helped minimise

weight, which helps maximise performance per

unit of energy consumed and delivers high

fuel efficiency. Performance is controlled by a specially designed

electronic engine management system.

THE NANO - Fuel-efficient engine

THE NANO - Meets all safetyrequirements

The People's Car's safety performance exceeds current

regulatory requirements. With an all sheet-metal body, it has a

strong passenger compartment, with safety features such as crumple zones, intrusion-resistant doors, seat belts, strong

seats and anchorages, and the rear tailgate glass

bonded to the body. Tubeless tyres further enhance safety.

THE NANO - Environment-friendly

The People's Car's tailpipe emission performance exceeds regulatory

requirements. In terms of overall pollutants, it has a

lower pollution level than two-wheelers being

manufactured in India today. 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.

He informed that the car is 8 per cent smaller bumper to bumper, than the Maruti800 but at the same time 21 per cent larger in its interiors and can sit up to four people.
