The first batch of the Tata Tigor EV has rolled out
of the company’s manufacturing facility in Sanand, Gujarat. The electric
variant of the Tigor is being manufactured for Energy Efficiency Services Ltd
(EESL), an entity under the Ministry of Power.
In September 2017, Tata Motors won the tender of
supplying 10,000 electric vehicles to EESL. For phase 1, Tata Motors is
required to deliver 250 Tigor EVs, followed by an additional 100 cars
thereafter.
The specifications of the electric drivetrain have
not been revealed officially. However, a leaked document that surfaced last
month revealed that there’s a 29.8 kW (39.95 hp) electric motor in the Tata
Tigor EV. The electric drive systems have been developed and supplied by
Electra EV. The same company is also supplying electric powertrains for the
Tata Nano-based Jayem Neo.
