Tata Motors have already introduced electric vehicles to promote usage of green energy in the country. Tata Tigor electric is the company's fully electric car. The company has also launched its electric pickup truck - the Tata Ace Electric in the country in 2016. Recently, in January 2017, Tata Motors introduced its pure electric bus ‘Starbus Electric 9m’ and hybrid ‘StarBus Electric 12m’ in India.
When it comes to smart mobility, self-driving cars cannot be ignored. Tata Motors, as of now, has not brought any such vehicles in India. However, testing of the company’s autonomous and connected cars are happening globally.
In November 2017, Tata Motors owned Jaguar Land Rover took part in the UK’s first road tests for autonomous and connected vehicles. Jaguar Land Rover tested a range of research technologies that will allow cars to talk to each other as well as roadside infrastructure, such as traffic lights on the roads of Coventry. Even self driving Tata Hexa was also tested during the trial run.
