Tata Technologies, a leading global provider of engineering services and product development IT, will present a panel discussion titled “How Electric Vehicles Will Impact Design and Materials” and display its electric MObility (eMO) engineering study EV at the Plastics News Plastics in Lightweight Vehicles 2012 Conference Nov. 6-7, in Livonia, Mich. eMO made its world debut at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS), in Detroit, in January 2012.
“The eMO project symbolizes the coming of age of Indian automotive engineering,” Warren Harris, Tata Technologies President and COO said at its NAIAS debut. “It is a tangible example of the capability of Tata Technologies to engineer a full vehicle – a first for any India-based engineering services company.” The eMO architecture emphasizes “right size” personal urban transportation by minimizing its exterior footprint and maximizing interior space. With sustainability in mind, eMO benefits from a low carbon footprint and a recyclability strategy. The business case underpinning the eMO project sets the MSRP at the disruptive price point of $20,000, before tax incentives or rebates.
Teams working in North America, Europe and India collaborated to develop the innovative eMO study, which includes a unique integrated rear window/rear light assembly. Overall, there are 15 patent applications in progress on the project.
Plastics in Lightweight Vehicles 2012 Conference
The second annual Plastics News Plastics in Lightweight Vehicles Conference will cover requirements and strategies for achieving global fuel economy standards, focusing on the real-world issues of product deliverability, quality and cost for all members of the supply chain. On November 6-7, presenters will cover key market and technical information, including the role plastics can play in interiors, seating, structural powertrain and under-the-hood components. Plastics also play a key role in electrification, battery and hybrid technology.
