Nano showcased at Cooper-Hewitt National Design museum
Tata Nano will soon be showcased in the Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum, New York, USA from February 18 to April 25, 2010. Tata launched Nano in India last year and termed it 'the people's car'. Since its conception, Nano has generated a lot of curiosity across the world. As a testimony to that a bright sunshine yellow Nano would be on display in Cooper-Hewitt's Great Hall, along with diagrams and a short film describing its concept, development and production. The curatorial director of the museum Cara McCarty said, "Cooper-Hewitt's mission is to present the very latest developments in design and technology and the Tata Nano introduces more families in India to the new world of affordable and safer mobility. We're eager to display the Tata Nano at the museum, where many visitors will see it for the first time."
Tata Nano is continuing the 'affordable motoring' tradition where its predecessors Henry Ford's Model T, the Volkswagen Beetle, Citroen 2CV and the original Fiat 500 left it. With Nano Ratan Tata has tried to provide an affordable family vehicle other than a motorbike or a scooter. Nano pollutes less and offers a fuel efficiency of 21.2kmpl. The car was designed by 500 Indian engineers and Tata Motors is keenly developing newer versions of the car for European and American markets.
The car has very basic features and is stripped down to the essentials. This 35-horsepower engine, four-door vehicle is about 10 feet long, weighs approximately 1,300 pounds, has an all-sheet-metal body, a rear two-cylinder engine, small tubeless tires, a reinforced passenger compartment, crumple zones, seat belts and achieves a top speed of 106kmph. However, safety has been a concern in the minds of many. But Tata Nano passed a roll-over test and offset impact test and put some fears to rest. But the car still does not include a power steering, air bags, antilock brakes or an exterior left passenger-side mirror.
