Tata Nano in South Africa - update

January 31st, 2008 · 6 Comments

I’ve managed to get in touch with Tata SA regarding their $2500.00 Nano. While the answer I received wasn’t very informative, at least it’s something.

Here’s what Dean Thomas, Tata SA Sales & Marketing Manager, had to say:


The car is only going to be launched towards the end of the year in India, and only after that will they consider the export of it as well as things like specifications etc.

This is going to be a long process logistically before anything is available for us to tell you, so please bear with us.

I’ve asked Mr. Thomas to keep GreenCars in touch with any new developments, so stay tuned for more info.

    Tata Nano - Not Green!

    Simply put, creating a vehicle that takes more people off bikes and into fossil fuel vehicles (at a price that obviously does not include environmental costs) is obviously not green. This is probably a very bad thing for the environment.

    You could argue that the Nano takes people off very dirty 2 stroke bikes that don’t conform to any emissions regulations at all. Apparently the Nano’s Euro 4 compliant, although I’m waiting for confirmation on this.

    Danson Joseph, do you use a fossil fuel vehicle or a bicycle?

    I am waiting for the Nano to launch here in India. Would possibly grab one for myself and of what I have heard, Tata has claimed that they are less pollutant than the 2 wheelers we have here.
