The Tata Indica Vista EV (Electric Vehicle) did not get the required support from the British government for a local assembly line, eventually forcing Tata to look elsewhere for the required sum. But in Norway, things have looked brighter and the government has granted permission to set up a plant that will assemble Indica Vista EV SKDs brought from India.

The Indica Vista EV runs on lithium-ion battery packs and will become India’s second EV to be exported – the first car was the Reva or G-Wiz known internationally.

The Indica Vista EV offers massive cabin space and is perkier than the diesel and petrol counterparts. It has a top speed of 151kmph and a offers 190Nm of torque.

The Indica Vista EV will be produced in association with Miljo Grenland / Innovasjon, Norway in which Tata Motors’ UK subsidiary, Tata Motors European Technical Centre plc, holds 70 per cent stake.

The newly launched Tata Indica Vista will take part in the demonstration program in Norway which is scheduled sometime during this year and the next.

The Electric Tata Indica Vista will employ a drive train sourced from Canadian company TM4. It will give the car 80 bhp and 170 Nm of torque. This motor is the latest from TM4′s line with the highest possible efficiency the company has reached.
