The world’s cheapest car was just produced, in an announcement made by Tata. This small car has an engine of 625cc, and can go for 20km per litre of petrol. It actually looks pretty decent, and sort of resembles the Mitsubishi I. However, if the announcement is accurate, then the basic model comes without air-conditioning!
It was designed for emerging markets though, and was meant to replace scooters, so I guess that’s understandable. It’s quite an exciting announcement, as this will definitely mark a watershed moment in the automobile industry — I’m pretty sure the other automobile makers will catch up with offerings of their own too.
While such a car puts the ability to own a car in the hands of the lower income families, it does pose an environmental concern, especially since it would mean the rise of the total number of vehicles on the road. However, if people were to downgrade from their luxury or sports behemoths to these cars though, then I guess it would be a good thing.
