New Delhi. Tata Motors is one of the most active players in the EV segment. In fact, it is one of the brands that have an EV option for almost all petrol/diesel models. However, one of the most popular cars, Altroz, has not yet come in its EV avatar. It is also worth noting that the brand also showcased Altroz.ev concept a few years ago. However, due to some challenges, Tata Motors had to stop the plans of Altroz.Ev. The special thing is that it was Ratan Tata's favorite car and he himself showcased it.
Showcase at Geneva Motor Show
Tata Motors first showcased the Altroz.Ev concept at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show and 2020 Auto Expo. However, the car never reached the production phase. Tata Motors faced many challenges due to the delay in launch. According to the brand, he faced the challenge of packing the battery under Altroz's surface. If the brand had to pack the battery under the surface, Tata Motors would have to either reduce the ground clearance or increase it. In both cases, it is not a practical option.
Tata punch platform
To solve this problem, Tata Motors is ready to develop altroz.ev on punch.ev platform. The smallest Tata SUV is based on ACTI.EV platform. In addition, punch.ev will get a facelift and will be introduced with the updated act .EV platform. The updated platform Tata Motors will be able to use a large battery pack with punch.ev.
Platform and Battery Technology Share
Now, although Altroz.ev will share platforms and battery techniques with punch.ev, design and feature list will be shared with its ICE version. The design of Altroz.Ev will be like the recently launched Altroz facelift. The new LED headlamps, flush door handles and connected LED tail lamps will be introduced with EV models.
