Tata Motors may seek JLR tech for its Indian cars

Tata- Jaguar- Land Rover

Tata Motors is planning to use the technological know-how of the engineers from its British subsidiary, Jaguar Land Rover into its passenger cars in a bid to improve quality. According to a top Tata Motors official, the mother company will use expertise in design, noise and vibration and other aspects to build a portfolio of cars that are more sophisticated than its current range of Indica hatchback, Indigo sedan and the Nano ultra low-cost car.

Speaking to ET, PM Telang, MD of Tata Motors India operations said: “We know we need to improve our car operations in terms of fits, finishes, noise, vibration and design elements. That’s where Jaguar Land Rover can help us.” Indeed, JLR engineers were invited to take a look at the Nano following complaints of the car catching fire.

“We invited a group of engineers from JLR to join 20 engineers from Tata Motors and forensic experts and examine the Nano closely. They did a thorough job and came to the conclusion that there’s no design problems or faulty components with the Nano and that the instances of the car catching fire are stray instances.”
