[edit] History
Tata Motors is a part of the Tata Group manages its share-holding through Tata Sons. The company was established in 1950 as a locomotive manufacturing unit and later expanded its operations to commercial vehicle sector in 1954 after forming a joint venture with Daimler-Benz AG of Germany. Despite the success of its commercial vehicles, Tata realized his company had to diversify and he began to look at other products. Based on consumer demand, he decided that building a small car would be the most practical new venture. So in 1998 it launched Tata Indica, India's first fully indigenous passenger car. Designed to be inexpensive and simple to build and maintain, the Indica became a hit in the Indian market. It was also exported to Europe, especially the UK and Italy.

[edit] Acquisitions

In 2004 Tata Motors acquired Daewoo's truck manufacturing unit, now known as Tata Daewoo Commercial Vehicle, in South Korea.[7] In 2005, Tata Motors acquired 21% of Aragonese Hispano Carrocera giving it controlling rights of the company. In 2007, Formed a joint venture with Marcopolo of Brazil and introduced low-floor buses in the Indian Market.[8] In 2008, Tata Motors acquired British Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), which includes the Daimler and Lanchester brand names.[9][10][11][12]

In 2010, Tata Motors acquired 80% stake in Italy-based design and engineering company Trilix for a consideration of 1.85 million. The acquisition is in line with the companys objective to enhance its styling/design capabilities to global standards.[13]

[edit] Expansion

The FIRST generation Tata Indica V2's excellent fuel economy, powerful engine and aggressive marketing strategy made it one of the best selling cars in the history of the Indian automobile industry. After years of dominating the commercial vehicle market in India, Tata Motors entered the passenger vehicle market in 1991 by launching the Tata Sierra, a multi utility vehicle. After the launch of three more vehicles, Tata Estate (1992, a stationwagon design based on the earlier 'TataMobile' (1989), a light commercial vehicle), Tata Sumo (LCV, 1994) and Tata Safari (1998, India's first sports utility vehicle). Tata launched the Indica in 1998, the first fully indigenous passenger car of India. Though the car was initially panned by auto-analysts, the car's excellent fuel economy, powerful engine and aggressive marketing strategy made it one of the best selling cars in the history of the Indian automobile industry. A newer version of the car, named Indica V2, was a major improvement over the previous version and quickly became a mass-favorite. Tata Motors also successfully exported large quantities of the car to South Africa. The success of Indica in many ways marked the rise of Tata Motors.[14]

[edit] Tata Daewoo Commercial Vehicle

Main article: Tata Daewoo Commercial Vehicle Tata Motors aimed to increase its presence worldwide. In 2004, it acquired the Daewoo Commercial Vehicle Company of South Korea. The reasons behind the acquisition were:

Company's global plans to reduce domestic exposure. The domestic commercial vehicle market is highly cyclical in nature and prone to fluctuations in the domestic economy. Tata Motors has a high domestic exposure of ~94% in the MHCV segment and ~84% in the light commercial vehicle (LCV) segment. Since the domestic commercial vehicle sales of the company are at the mercy of the structural economic factors, it is increasingly looking at the international markets. The company plans to diversify into various markets across the world in both MHCV as well as LCV segments. To expand the product portfolio Tata Motors recently introduced the 25MT GVW Tata Novus from Daewoos (South Korea) (TDCV) platform. Tata plans to leverage on the strong presence of TDCV in the heavy-tonnage range and introduce products in India at an appropriate time. This was mainly to cater to the international market and also to cater to the domestic market where a major improvement in the Road infrastructure was done through the National Highway Development Project.

Tata remains India's largest heavy commercial vehicle manufacturer and Tata Daewoo is the 2nd largest heavy commercial vehicle manufacturer in South Korea. Tata Motors has jointly worked with Tata Daewoo to develop trucks such as Novus and World Truck and buses namely, GloBus and StarBus.

[edit] Hispano Carrocera

Main article: Hispano Carrocera In 2005, sensing an opportunity in the fully built bus segment, Tata Motors acquired a 21% stake in Hispano Carrocera SA,[15] the leading European bus and coach cabin maker. In 2009, the company picked up the remaining 79% stake in Hispano Carrocera SA for an undisclosed sum, making it a fully owned subsidiary.

[edit] Jaguar Cars and Land Rover

Main articles: Jaguar Cars and Land Rover After the acquisition of the British Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) business, which also includes the Daimler, Lanchester and Rover brands,[16] Tata Motors became a major player in the international automobile market. On 27 March 2008, Tata Motors reached an agreement with

Ford to purchase their Jaguar Land Rover operations for US$2.3 billion. The sale was completed on 2 June 2008.[12] In addition to the brands, Tata Motors has also gained access to two design centres and two plants in UK. The key acquisition would be of the intellectual property rights related to the technologies.

[edit] Joint ventures

Tata MarcoPolo released a low-floor bus in India and now it is widely used as public transport in Delhi, Mumbai,Pune, Chennai, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Chandigarh and Lucknow. Tata Motors has formed a 51:49 joint venture in bus body building with Marcopolo of Brazil. This joint venture is to manufacture and assemble fully built buses and coaches targeted at developing mass rapid transportation systems. The joint venture will absorb technology and expertise in chassis and aggregates from Tata Motors, and Marcopolo will provide know-how in processes and systems for bodybuilding and bus body design. Tata and Marcopolo have launched a low-floor city bus which is widely used by Chennai, Coimbatore, Delhi, Mumbai, Lucknow, Pune and Bengaluru transport corporations. Its manufacturing facility is based in Dharwad. Tata Motors also formed a joint venture with Fiat and gained access to Fiats diesel engine technology.[17] Tata Motors sells Fiat cars in India through a 50/50 joint venture Fiat Automobiles India Limited, and is looking to extend its relationship with Fiat and Iveco to other segments. Tata has also formed several JV's with many small companies in various countries around the world.

[edit] Important developments

[edit] Tata Nano
Main article: Tata Nano

Tata Nano In January 2008, Tata Motors launched Tata Nano, the least expensive production car in the world at about 120,000 (US $3000).[18] The city car was unveiled during the Auto Expo 2008 exhibition in Pragati Maidan, New Delhi.[19] Tata has faced controversy over developing the Nano as some environmentalists are concerned that the launch of such a low-priced car could lead to mass motorization in India with adverse effects on pollution and global warming. Tata has set up a factory in Sanand, Gujarat and the first Nanos are to roll out summer 2009. Tata Nano Europa has been developed for sale in developed economies and is to hit markets in 2010 while the normal Nano should hit markets in South Africa, Kenya and countries in Asia and Africa by late 2009. A battery version is also planned.

[edit] Tata Ace

Main article: Tata Ace

Tata Ace was India's first mini truck Tata Ace, India's first indigenously developed sub-one ton mini-truck, was launched in May 2005. The mini-truck was a huge success in India with auto-analysts claiming that Ace had changed the dynamics of the light commercial vehicle (LCV) market in the country by creating a new market segment termed the small commercial vehicle (SCV) segment. Ace rapidly emerged as the first choice for transporters and single truck owners for city and rural transport. By October 2005, LCV sales of Tata Motors had grown by 36.6 percent to 28,537 units due to the

rising demand for Ace. The Ace was built with a load body produced by Autoline Industries.[20] By 2005, Autoline was producing 300 load bodies per day for Tata Motors. Ace is still a top seller for TML with 5 lakh units sold to date (June 2010).[21] Ace has also been exported to several Asian, European, South American and African countries and all-electric models are sold through Chrysler's Global Electric Motorcars division.[22] In Sri Lanka it is sold through Diesel & Motor Engineering(DIMO) PLC under the name of DIMO Batta.

[edit] Compressed air car

Main article: Tata OneCAT

Tata OneCAT Motor Development International of France has developed the world's first prototype of a compressed air car, named OneCAT.[23] In 2007, MDI owner Guy Negre was reported to have "the backing of Tata".[23] It has airtanks that can be filled in 4 hours by plugging the car into a standard electrical plug. In 2008 MDI planned to also design a gas station compressor, which would fill the tanks in 3 minutes.[24] There are no gasoline costs and no fossil fuel emissions from the vehicle when run in town, but "the compressed air driving the pistons can be boosted by a fuel burner".[24] OneCAT is a five seat vehicle with a 200-litre (7.1 cu ft) trunk. With full tanks it is said to run at 100 km/h (62 mph) for 90 kilometres (56 mi) range in urban cycle. There are severe physical arguments pleading against those figures. In December 2009 Tata's vice president of engineering systems confirmed that the limited range and low engine temperatures were causing difficulties.[25]

[edit] Electric vehicles

Tata Motors unveiled the electric versions of passenger car Tata Indica and commercial vehicle Tata Ace. Both run on lithium batteries. The company has indicated that the electric Indica would be launched locally in India in about 2010, without disclosing the price. The vehicle would be launched in Norway in 2009.[26]

Tata Motors' UK subsidiary, Tata Motors European Technical Centre, has bought a 50.3% holding in electric vehicle technology firm Miljbil Grenland/Innovasjon of Norway for US$1.93 M, which specialises in the development of innovative solutions for electric vehicles, and plans to launch the electric Indica hatchback in Europe next year.[27][28][29] On 17 Sept 2010 Tata motors presented to the DTC (Delhi Transport corporation). Four CNG Electric Hybrid low-floored Star-buses to be used for Commonwealth games. These are the first Environmentally friendly buses to be used for public transportation in India.
