Tata Motors is all set to deliver future ready and technologically advanced, made in India electric cars. The first such car will be launched by March 2020, confirmed Tata Motors. Though the company has not confirmed which car will be the first to get the ZIPTRON technology, we believe it could be either the Nexon electric or the Altroz electric.
What is Ziptron technology? Tata says, “ZIPTRON technology comprises of a highly efficient permanent magnet AC motor providing superior performance on demand. It also offers best in industry dust and water proof battery system meeting IP67 standards. Further, ZIPTRON utilizes smart regenerative braking to charge the battery while on the drive.”
With this new electric technology, Tata Motors aims to redefine the electric car segment. Not only their electric cars will come with world class features and technology, their pricing will be aggressive as they will be made in India. Below is the first teaser video of this new tech.
Mr. Guenter Butschek, CEO & MD, Tata Motors said, “We are proud to present this state-of-art technology brand – ZIPTRON, which has been designed in-house while utilizing our global engineering network. At the heart of our future EV line-up, this technology will deliver a thrilling driving experience to our customers aspiring to go-green.
Rigorously tested across 1 million kms, ZIPTRON technology is well proven, advanced and reliable. With this technology, we hope to usher in a new wave of eMobility in India and accelerate faster adoption of EVs, supporting the Government’s vision.”
Speaking about the new gen electric car of Tata Motors Ziptron tech, it could be either the Altroz EV, which was showcased at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show earlier this year, or the Nexon electric SUV, which has already spied on test.
Considering that the Nexon EV has already entered the test phase, it is more likely to become the first Tata electric car with Ziptron technology. Not much details are available as of now about the Tata Nexon electric, but it is expected to get larger battery than on offer with the Tigor EV. This will deliver more driving range, expected of about 300 kms on full charge. Price could be in the range of Rs 15 lakhs.
