The Tata Motors European Technical Centre (TMETC) was set up at the University of Warwick, Coventry in 2005.
Anyway, the car won two awards at the inaugural Royal Automobile Club (RAC) Brighton to London Future Car Challenge in September last year, namely the the Most Economic Small Passenger Electric Vehicle (EV) and the Most Economical and Environment Friendly Small Passenger EV.
The Indica Vista EVX completed the journey from Brighton to London at a cost of only £1.35. The same journey would cost around £6.17 for a comparable sized petrol engine car.
The new Indica Vista EVX is now being manufactured at Tata's secret location in the Walsgrave area of Coventry.
