Launched almost 10 years ago as "the cheapest car in the world", the Indian Tata Nano shows signs of being end of life. Only one unit of the model was produced in June, reported Bloomberg, compared to 275 over the same period in 2017. Only 3 were registered on the local market last month.
The maker Tata, who also owns the Jaguar Land Rover luxury car group, has not confirmed the end of production, but a spokeswoman told the agency that, for the Moment, Nano will not be able to continue until the end of production. next year. And that the model needs new investments to survive, but a decision has not yet been made.
When it hit stores in India in 2009, the Nano cost about $ 2,000 or $ 4,000 at the time, with no air conditioning or "luxury" and no airbags or ABS.
With its 6-meter 624-cylinder engine – which still holds today – and its suitcase-shaped luggage compartment, it was not a sales phenomenon.
Despite attracting more than 200,000 pre-order buyers in 2010, sales had already fallen to around 500 per month.
