Got these pics from a friend...

Is this a competition to TATA's 1 lac car

sbasak · 16th October 2007, 21:12

Looks impressive! How much does it cost?

rkg · 16th October 2007, 21:16

it was supposed to be competition to bajaj auto's. it is very old news.it was displayed in some auto expo.it came in news papers long back.

highwayblaze · 16th October 2007, 21:16

That thing looks good

They should already have this in place of the existing auto ricks! But who would buy this against a car?!

Nitin · 16th October 2007, 21:17

A new age autorickshaw?? Will there be any takers?

BaCkSeAtDrIVeR · 16th October 2007, 21:47

I wonder what prevented TVS from actually launching this. High cost?

Yaa.. Second that!

Remembering reading about this long back with same pics. Also, there were a lot of mails with these pics forwarded over the net.

Proxima · 16th October 2007, 21:54

Looks good to me, if it is under 2 lacs, I'm sure it will sell well.

speedy · 16th October 2007, 23:22

this modern day auto looks real neat. am looking forward to plenty of auto rides if this comes into the market. if priced well there would be plenty of takers and tough competition to bajaj.
maybe i can start an auto business, any financers on the forum

May be old news, but very interesting nevertheless. Thanks for sharing Gopz.

Add a 4th wheel, bigger wheels, doors and a bigger engine...voila!! TVS' One-lac car is here.

This was displayed in Auto Expo - 2004 in New Delhi

Actually the production model looks almost similar to the Bajaj RE model auto .
TVS auto is said to go into showrooms by the end of this month or in Nov . in 3 engine variants to choose from
