No doubt tata 207 is a nice pickup.but sadly u need modification.to make it look more like sports truck and less like tata 207 .why didnt we ever heard about tata telcoline?
tata telcoline: The Tata Telcoline is a Heay duty pickup truck probably one of the most heavy duty and reliable in it s category. In some countries people tend to fit a 2.0l Toyota turbodeisel engine for more power. Value for money the Tata TL is probably one of the best too as it is much cheaper compared to other vehicles in it s class such as the Toyota Hilux and the Ford Ranger
I have seen toyata trucks in afganistan and I think lil more modifictaion will make it perfect and as tata is becoming a global marqa in automobiles .they should give some dicor look to 207 too .
now tata is launching xenon
XENoN
A redesigned Tata TL debuted at the 2006 Bologna Motor Show. Released in late 2007 as the Tata Xenon. The Xenon is powered by newly developed 2.2L common railturbodiesel 140 PS(103 kW) engine(DICOR). This will also featured the extended cab(X-Tend cab) for the first time but to the selected markets. The new Xenon will be launched in many countries around the world, where as in India its platform also gives rise to the Tata Sumo Grande, a passenger variant from Tata.
The car will be also assembled in Thailand by Tata-ThonburiJV[1], and Argentina by Tata-Fiat JV.[2]
A) Background
SPRINT was the code name of the Project for development of Tata's World Pick-up( truck). World Pick-up market( other than USA) is dominated by Japanese Auto majors like Toyota, Isuzu, Mitsubishi, Nissan. As per the study conducted by Tata Motors, there is a big opportunity for TML to grab substantial market share of world Pick-up market. Tata initiated an in-depth market study was conducted in various countries in Europe, Middle East, S Africa, Thailand, Australia, LAT AM etc to understand needs of target segments from a new Pick-up.
B) Aggressive Timeline is the major highlight
While a new product development timeline takes between 36 to 50 months, It is said that so far only Toyota has achieved the Timeline of 18 months.Hence, the name SPRINT which signifies and continuously reminded project team about the Speed of the project. The team worked round the clock relentlessly, applied principles of "Concurrent Engineering", disrtibuted work load in 9 different countries in order to crash timeline by overlapping maximum possible key activities. The team delivered project in 17 months - from styling freeze in Dec 05 to SOP( Start of Production) in May 07.
C) Launches / Motor Shows
