Since its debut, Tata Nano, is always in the news for its iconic character. The car is yet to be commercially launched and rumours of its different avatars have been echoing for a long time.

Tata has amazed everyone with its innovative technology used in the Nano that has made the car enjoy the tag of world’s cheapest car. Again the company has taken a step ahead of other car manufacturers with its plan to introduce a hybrid version of the Nano.

If Tata’s plans go well, the Nano could soon be seen with Bosch’s micro-hybrid technology which is believed to reduce fuel consumption and emissions by about 5 to 10 percent. The micro-hybrid technology is also known as ‘stop-start system’ in which the hybrid set up automatically turns off the car’s engine while it’s not in use. This little but powerful technology will join diesel and all-electric variants of the Nano.

The cost of Micro hybrid technology will be much lower than the full hybrid system. Though the exact price of the Nano Hybrid is not yet known, it’s expected to cost Rs 4,000 to 6,000 more than the parent model.
