TATA
Established in 1945, Tata Motors' presence indeed cuts across the length
and breadth of India. Over 4 million Tata vehicles ply on Indian roads,
since the first rolled out in 1954. The company's manufacturing base is
spread across India-Jamshedpur (Jharkhand) in the east, Pune
(Maharashtra) in the west, and in the north in Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) and
Pantnagar (Uttarakhand). A new plant is being set up in Singur (close to
Kolkata in West Bengal) to manufacture the company's small car. The
nation-wide dealership, sales, services and spare parts network comprises
over 2,000 touch points. The company also has a strong auto finance
operation, TML Financial Services Limited, supporting customers to
purchase Tata Motors vehicles.
Tata Motors, the first company from India's engineering sector to be listed
in the New York Stock Exchange (September 2004), has also emerged as
an international automobile company. In 2004, it acquired the Daewoo
Commercial Vehicles Company, Korea's second largest truck maker. The
rechristened Tata Daewoo Commercial Vehicles Company has launched
several new products in the Korean market, while also exporting these
products to several international markets. Today two-thirds of heavy
commercial vehicle exports out of South Korea are from Tata Daewoo. In
2005, Tata Motors acquired a 21% stake in Hispano Carrocera, a reputed
Spanish bus and coach manufacturer, with an option to acquire the
remaining stake as well. Hispano's presence is being expanded in other
markets. In 2006, it formed a joint venture with the Brazil-based
Marcopolo, a global leader in body-building for buses and coaches to
manufacture fully-built buses and coaches for India and select international
markets. Tata Motors also entered into a joint venture in 2006 with
Thonburi Automotive Assembly Plant Company of Thailand to manufacture
and market the company's pickup vehicles in Thailand. In 2006, Tata
Motors and Fiat Auto formed an industrial joint venture at Ranjangaon
(near Pune in Maharashtra, India) to produce both Fiat and Tata cars and
Fiat powertrains for the Indian and overseas markets; Tata Motors already
distributes and markets Fiat branded cars in India. In 2007, Tata Motors
and Fiat Auto entered into an agreement for a Tata license to build a pick-
up vehicle bearing the Fiat nameplate at Fiat Group Automobiles' Plant at
Córdoba, Argentina. The pick-up will be sold in South and Central America
and select European markets.
The company set up the Tata Motors European Technical Centre (TMETC) in
2005 in the UK. TMETC is engaged in design engineering and development
of products, supporting Tata Motors' skill sets. Tata Daewoo Commercial
Vehicle Company and Hispano Carrocera also have R&D establishments at
Gunsan in South Korea and Zaragoza in Spain.
True to the tradition of the Tata Group, Tata Motors is committed in letter
and spirit to Corporate Social Responsibility. It is a signatory to the United
Nations Global Compact, and is engaged in community and social initiatives
on labour and environment standards in compliance with the principles of
the Global Compact. In accordance with this, it plays an active role in
community development, serving rural communities adjacent to its
manufacturing locations.
With the foundation of its rich heritage, Tata Motors today is etching a
refulgent future.

RESEARCH
Research & Development:
Research provides the much-needed inspiration for the birth of new ideas,
which in turn breathes new life into products. World-class automotive
research and development are key factors that contribute to the leadership
of the Company.
Facilities:
Engine Performance
Test Beds
Chassis Dynamometer Emission Lab
Electrodynamic Vibration Shaker Platform
Instrumentation Laboratory
Test Beds:
Tata Motors has 24 engine test beds for engine development. These are
fully automated with computerised data acquisition and logging. They are
used to test performance, endurance, and durability. They are also used in
development of components and other engine aggregates.
Instrumentation Laboratory:
The 'Instrumentation Laboratory' at ERC Engines is equipped with a range
of instruments to assist engine development. These include data acquisition
systems, air flow meters, blow-by meters, smoke meters, oil consumption
meters, incometer & topometer, piston profile tester, FIP test rig, Swirl test
rig, and many other support equipments to cater to routine engine
development activities.
Reducing Emissions:
A specialized laboratory has been set up to measure levels of emission of vehicles using either petrol,
diesel or CNG. This laboratory helps Tata Motors achieve fuel consumption efficiencies that would
conform to international standards, under varying driving cycles. It stands testimony to Tata Motors
commitment to help bring down levels of atmospheric pollution caused by vehicular exhaust.
Durability Testing
Test Tracks
Four Poster Servo-Hydraulic Test Facility
Test Tracks:
High-speed tracks are specialized tracks for testing endurance of cars and
commercial vehicles. The Tata Motors torture tracks and high-speed tracks
in Jamshedpur and Pune are the only one of their kind in the country. The
torture track has 4 segments. Each segment affords a different type and
level of stress testing for the vehicle chassis and aggregates. The tracks
subject the chassis to shock, twisting, and bending loads. 1000 cycles on
this torture track are equivalent to approximately one and a half lakh kms
of running on regular roads. It thus provides a valid test of chassis and
vehicle durability.
Tata Motors ERC is the only high-tech facility in India to evaluate the
degree of passenger safety in the event of any high-speed impact. Through
a special crash test facility. Different types of accidents are simulated; the
results analysed, and put to use in the development of a vehicle that
satisfies stringent international safety norms. Special high-speed cameras
record test crashes at the rate of 1000 frames per second. An accident, for
instance, at the speed of 50 kilometers per hour, lasts one eighth of a
second. Thus, 125 frames recorded by these cameras are available for
study with the completion of each individual test.
Designing and Styling (CAD CENTRE): The CAD centre is equipped with
53 state-of-the-art CAD stations and the latest software. The CAD centre is
a vital organ of ERC's Cab Design Section. CAD designing involves
development of vehicle specifications, styling interiors and exteriors,
reviewing the styling from the engineering and aesthetic points of view,
virtual prototyping to check for design acceptability and feasibility of
manufacture. Based on this information, several running prototypes are
made and tested. It is only after all flaws, if any, are corrected using CAD
systems, that vehicles are approved for mass production.
