Robin Sharma recently wrote in his Robins Blog about IPod. Indeed, IPod is not only an exciting innovation, but also a shining example how you can further 'innovate' !
Tata's own Nano is as exciting too. We may complain about the impact it will have on environment. But think of a family who use a two wheeler as their 'family vehicle' !
With a length of 3.1 metres, width of 1.5 metres and height of 1.6 metres, with adequate ground clearance, mono volume design, wheels at the corners and powertrain at the rear will translate to space and manouvrability... a critical need to drive around India's rural and urban landscape.
Has a rear-wheel drive, all-aluminium, two-cylinder, 623 cc, 33 PS, multi point fuel injection petrol engine. This is the first time that a two-cylinder gasoline engine is being used in a car with single balancer shaft. The lean design strategy has helped minimise weight, which helps maximise performance per unit of energy consumed and delivers high fuel efficiency. Performance is controlled by a specially designed electronic engine management system.
Tata has taken care to provide basic safety features and claims less polluting compared to two wheelers. Hero Honda and Bajaj Auto, watch out... Tata Motors have taken the fight to your territory.
Ratan Tata had dared to dream. He challenged his team and himself by voicing his plan to launch a people's car. Though Maruti Suzuki was conceived by Sanjay Gandhi to provide a people's car to India, the dominant market leader clearly failed to lead from the front. I have personally had opportunity to interact with senior members at Tata Motors at their launch of Ace, Starbus/Globus, Daewoo trucks, etc.
Kudos to Tata team. In future, people may compare this model to Ford's model T !
