Tata Motors arrived at the 2023 Auto Expo ready to compete with a futuristic approach. The automaker showcased a few CNG models in addition to many innovative EVs and ideas.
Tata Motors has always been at the forefront in working towards solutions to achieve zero emissions. Taking a step further in this regard, these commercial mobility solutions are all powered by environment-friendly fuels such as natural gas, electricity, and hydrogen.
For example, H2 or Hydrogen fuel provides high energy density. This increases the range and reduces the charging time. Similarly, electric vehicles are emission-less, pollution-reducing, and efficient, thereby providing an easy driving experience.
