THE NEXT LEVEL
IN DRIVING EXPERIENCES
To ensure superior performance, we have
implemented the
DriveNext
concept, a
new approach to the driving dynamics
that offers the driver complete control
of a highly responsive machine –
from
the precision of the steering to the balance
and handling and in the response of the
power train.
In the passenger vehicles business, we have ushered change
with aggressive focus to performance, showcased by our next-
generation
REVOTRON series of petrol engines and the
F-Tronic technology with class-defining Automatic Manual
Transmission (AMT).
We continue to deliver on the promise of more sophisticated
technologies and a pure driving fascination to our customers,
who expect safe, comfortable and powerful vehicles that must be
increasingly fuel-efficient and environment-friendly. In order to
meet these requirements, Tata Motors has displayed technologies
that set ambitious benchmarks in the passenger car market
redefining ride and handling in vehicles such as the
Safari Storme
Ladakh, the Sumo Extreme and the Nano Twist F-Tronic.
We are powering
the diesel variant of Zest with the first-in-class
F-Tronic technology-enabled, 5-speed Automated Manual
Transmission and a segment-leading 90PS engine with 200 Nm
of uninterrupted flat torque
to offer a peppy drive with seamless
delivery of power.
Further, we are introducing
EPAS (Electronic Power Assisted
System), with ‘Active Return’ function and speed
sensitive power steering in both cars – the Zest and Bolt – a
first for both segments.
Safety is enhanced with the new and
advanced ABS for improved braking efficiency and with yet another
segment-first, the Cornering Stability feature. The improved dual-
path suspension provides effective isolation from road inputs
without compromising on the body control, translating into a class
leading balance between ride and handling. This provides for a very
comfortable but engaging drive experience. A silent, quieter cabin
will ensure a pleasant and superlative drive experience.
