Tata Motors to produce one lakh car in Thailand

Yesterday, there were media reports indicating Tata Motors would unveil a high-end variant of people’s car or 1 lakh car (jeh) at the upcoming Geneva Motor show. It is very obvious that Tata Motors would launch the one lakh car across the globe and will customise it depending on the market demand.  For South East Asian Nation, it’s almost sure that Tata Motors will produce the one lakh car in Thailand plant. It recent years, Tata motors is very bullish on Thailand. Tata Motors is building an assembly plant  in alliance with Thonburi Automotive to sell the Sprint pickup in Thailand from March 2008. Tata Motors has also submitted a request to Business of Foreign Trade in Thailand to set up an assembly plant for eco cars with a capacity of 100,000 units at an investment of over $250 million (1000 crores) in Thailand. Connecting the dots, we come to know that Tata Motors will produce an environment friendly variant of one lakh car in Thailand. CNG and LPG is likely to be the option. In addition, Tata will produce a much powerful (engine with a capacity of 1000cc) one lakh car in Thailand to cater to the needs of the region which are currently dominated by Japanese majors like Honda and Toyota.  Safety features like airbags and ABS will be added to the one lakh car to comply the safety standards.
