The brainchild of Ratan Tata ‘Nano’ that has created a benchmark in the history of global car market due to its super-thrifty engineering and distinctive concept is now set to come in European version.
The European Nano will go public for the first time at the ongoing Geneva Auto Show. But will the European Nano be same as the Indian Nano? No we don’t think so. European market has comparatively higher norms when it comes to safety and emissions. And so the European Nano will also be technologically superior with better compliance to emission norms. The car is likely to have certain significant modifications and a comprehensive design change to meet the European standards and conditions. Some of the standard features in the European Nano are car audio system, a left-side wing mirror, air conditioner, and alloy wheels.
The introduction of these features along with mandatory safety features will definitely increase the speculated price of the European version. And further to that the shipping cost of the car from Indian facility will add to the cost.
Couple of years ago it was hard to digest the incredulous reality of the Nano. But then the fact that good things come in small packages hold true with the Nano.
So, now when the Nano is all set to roll out on Indian roads, Tata is making hard attempts to introduce the car in European markets. Nano can prove to be a wakeup call for Europeans as many think that this world’s cheapest car symbolizes purity of mobility.










Nano really has great stories attached to it. First when the car was introduced in the auto expo it was said that it will be launched in 2008 end. The launch got delayed but the news of introducing new variants of the Nano including diesel variant was on continuous talk. Even today the car has yet not launched in India but another variant makes a debut at the geneva motor show.
The European version reads completely different from the Indian Nano that is hopefully launching on 23rd March. There are many safety features like airbags and antilock brakes that are not mandatory in India but I think that the company should add these in the European version.
Tata is focusing on the Nano Europa, but the company should first should roll out the Indian version of Nano. It was supposed to be launched in October 2008 and now it March 2009 and still there is no news about it.It is a really matter of proud that Nano will be showcasing overseas.
