Tata Motors to launch new EV in 2020
Indian automaker Tata Motors, the company behind the miniscule Nano and the parent company of Jaguar Land Rover, will launch an electric vehicle early next year based on a new powertrain technology it has developed to grow its portfolio of clean energy cars, the company's chief executive said on Thursday. The government's incentive scheme supporting electric transport and a recent cut in taxes on electric cars is making it more affordable to build EVs, Guenter Butschek, CEO, Tata Motors, told reporters in Mumbai. Tata Motors said EVs built using the new powertrain technology will have a range of about 155 miles on a single charge and the company will offer a warranty of 8 years on the batteries.
