People’s Car brings the comfort and safety of a car within the reach of thousands of families. The People’s Car will be launched in India later in 2008.
Speaking at the unveiling ceremony at the 9th Auto Expo in New Delhi, Mr. Ratan N. Tata said, “I observed families riding on two-wheelers – the father driving the scooter, his young kid standing in front of him, his wife seated behind him holding a little baby. It led me to wonder whether one could conceive of a safe, affordable, all-weather form of transport for such a family. Tata Motors’ engineers and designers gave their all for about four years to realise this goal. Today, we indeed have a People’s Car, which is affordable and yet built to meet safety requirements and emission norms, to be fuel efficient and low on emissions. We are happy to present the People’s Car to India and we hope it brings the joy, pride and utility of owning a car to many families who need personal mobility.” Stylish, comfortable The People’s Car, designed with a family in mind, has a roomy passenger compartment with generous leg space and head room. It can comfortably seat four persons. Four doors with high seating position make ingress and egress easy. Yet with a length of 3.1 metres, width of 1.5 metres and height of 1.6 metres, with adequate ground clearance, it can effortlessly manoeuvre on busy roads in cities as well as in rural areas. Its mono-volume design, with wheels at the corners and the powertrain at the rear, enables it to uniquely combine both space and manoeuvrability, which will set a new benchmark among small cars. When launched, the car will be available in both standard and deluxe versions. Both versions will offer a wide range of body colours, and other accessories so that the car can be customised to an individual’s preferences. Picture 18

Q: Are you nervous? Is this much bigger than the launch of Indica? I think I was much more nervous during the launch of Indica because we had never been in car manufacturing before. We were venturing into a new segment. We are again venturing into a new segment but in a product line in which we have 10 years of experience now .
Q: If one would really start at the very beginning, what really was the trigger for the idea? Basically, just as an Indian, you know, I would be as concerned of my-self as one of the rickshaw pullers in Calcutta running with rickshaw behind with two people sitting back. It bothered me. My mind will start thinking: Can we put a bicycle there? The same thing bothers me when I visit a plant also. The workers are bending over when the work piece should be raised or maybe they should sit in a pit or what-ever. Because I think human fatigue is something that affects safety. Picture 18

Q: What were the most challenging moments to your mind? They all relate to costs. Perhaps the bigger, more visible issue is that somewhere we needed to benchmark ourselves against something. And we took the Maruti 800 as a benchmark. In terms of acceleration and driveability, it should at least equal the Maruti and in some areas it should exceed the Maruti. Q: People are used to thinking within a certain framework. So how did you achieve breakthroughs in shaving off costs? We haven't changed when you see the car. It is a four-door car, fiveseat, rear engine and in many ways conventionally constructed. What has been done is like (in the case of) door locks, we have the same lock on all four doors, both left hand and right hand. We have some parts that are wing locked from inside

Q: You think that this car is going to some way change the DNA of the group? That is not what it was conceived for. Well, the fact that you are doing it to address the market, that's huge. It gives you an expectation of, you know, if we produce 50,000 of such cars then we are ready to undertake that exercise
Q: There has been some criticism that this car is going to choke the already congested roads in cities. Do you think that is an elitist criticism? Yeah, I asked myself. We produced about 7 million two wheelers earlier. Today, we almost have about 60-70 million two to three wheelers in the country. We produced about 1.4 million cars and at some point we will exceed 2 million. Nobody said anything about that. It only happens to be this car that is being targeted. You may say well OK the two wheeler takes lesser space.

Q: Who are your potential customers for this car? Are you really looking at tier II and tier III towns and cities? The biggest nation-wide music festival celebrating the culture of live bands is back with an even bigger platform than ever before
