Innovation is Future
Preparedness
Innovation, backed by meticulous R&D and design engineering,
is one of our strategic priorities to remain ahead of the curve in
a hyper-competitive market scenario.
WE ARE WORKING TOWARDS AN
AUTONOMOUS, BETTER CONNECTED
AND ELECTRIFIED FUTURE, IN WHICH
CUSTOMERS HAVE THE BROADEST RANGE
OF CHOICES, FROM ULTRA-CLEAN PETROL
ENGINES TO HYBRIDS AND FULL
ELECTRIC VEHICLES.
We believe, to gain market share and strengthen our financial
position, we need to drive our innovation efforts more aggressively.
We have around 4500 engineers, scientists and technicians, who are
driving innovation at Tata Motors. Aiming to be a global leader in
the technology domain, our R&D centres span multiple geographies,
including Pune (India), UK and South Korea. Under the TAMO brand,
we are instituting Innovation Hubs in Europe and the US. We are also
collaborating with international partners such as Vibracoustic, Bosch,
Goodyear, Randle Engineering Services and ILJIN, among many
others, for forward-looking technologies.
In India, we are investing significantly towards technology upgrades
for meeting the upcoming BS VI requirements for all our products
over the next two to three years.
