Tata Motors has delivered the first batch of Tata
Tigor Electric Vehicles to EESL (Energy Efficiency Services Limited). Tata will
deliver 250 units of the Tigor EV to the state-run entity as part of the tender
floated by EESL in September 2017 to procure 10,000 electric vehicles. The
first batch of Tata Tigor EV rolled out from the company’s Gujarat plant
earlier this month.
As per the order placed by EESL, the Tigor EV will
be delivered in three trim variants – Base, Premium and High. It will only be
available in ‘Pearlescent White’ colour with blue decals. There is also blue
‘EV’ lettering on the grille. The tender requires all variants of the Tata
Tigor EV to be equipped with FATC (Fully Automatic AC).
The Tata Tigor EV is equipped with a single speed,
automatic transmission. Electra EV provides the electric powertrain for the
electric variant of the Tigor. A leaked document that surfaced last month
revealed that there’s a 29.8 kW (40 hp) electric motor in the Tigor EV.
