CORPORATE OVERVIEW

Along with these-next generation engine technologies, Tata Motors

is working to create futuristic transmission solutions that offer

best-in-class driving experiences, fuel efficiency, performance and

value proposition to customers. Some of our evolved transmission

technologies are:

Intelligent Gear Shift Indicator

This prompts the operator to

select the gear, which ensures

the best balance of fuel economy

and driving performance.

6L50 Automatic Transmission

Launched in Hexa and Xenon,

this transmission is six-speed,

electronically controlled with two

overdrive ratio gears.

Easy Shift Technology on

Passenger Cars

Compared to conventional

ATS, it is designed to deliver

an optimum combination of

driving comfort, coupled with

performance, fuel economy and

better affordability.

(‘EasyShift’on CVs)

This AMT solution has been

developed on New Gen 6-speed.

It has been launched on Ultra bus

with New Gen 3 litre engine. Its

full potential can be leveraged

with the advent of Hybrid.

JLR also continues to invest significantly in the development of new

powertrain technologies with plans to introduce Mild Hybrids (MHEVs),

Plug-in Hybrids (PHEVs) and Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) into its

product range. It currently offers diesel hybrid variants of the Range

Rover and Range Rover Sport.

Partly funded by the British Government,

JLR’s TRANSCEND

programme aims to rebuild the UK’s transmission production

through investment in processes to develop lighter components as

well as more energy-efficient manufacturing production. This is an

advanced research project that aims to create lightweight,

eight-speed transmission with an ultra-wide ratio spread of 20,

which is more than double that of a conventional eight-speed

automatic. Weighing around 20 kgs less than existing eight-speed

automatics, TRANSCEND could be used in longitudinal rear-wheel

drive and all-wheel drive vehicles.

Since 2008, the Company is investing heavily in the development

of ultra-clean petrol and diesel engines. It has been constantly

reducing NOx emissions with every newmodel year vehicle. The

Company’s latest EU6 diesel engines are among the cleanest in the

world, comparable with petrol engines, but with up to 20% lower CO

emissions.

JLR is also introducing a range of alternative powertrains from

2018 and beyond. This includes full electric, hybrid and mild hybrid

solutions. It aims that by 2020, half of its range will be available with

an alternative power option, suiting different customer needs.
