Indian auto manufacture Tata Motors has recently unveiled their expected sales for the upcoming Nano micro car. The company wants to have 80,000 of these little cars on the streets by as early as March 2010. Though production of the tiny Nano has been riddled with problems, including protests at the site where the Nano would be built, Tata Motors stays optimistic about meeting their goal.
The protests at the West Bengal facility have forced Tata to move production of the Nano to their main Pantnagar facility. A second plant in Sanand should be ready by March where the car’s main production line will eventually be moved to. This has caused some setbacks, but nothing apperantly that would impede production.
Next up for Tata will be a diesel version of the tiny Nano. The diesel should be available sometime in 2011. The car’s standard gasoline engine makes 33hp from a 625cc twin cylinder arrangement. Also in the works for future Nano’s is “luxury items” like air-conditioning and an automatic transmission.
