New Delhi: Tata Motors’ next generation variants of the Indigo, Sumo and Indica will roll out from its Ranjangaon plant that it conjointly runs with Fiat Motor India. The fresh ranges of vehicles are projected to hit the market by the coming year (2008).

On the sidelines of the launch of the new 2.2 litre Safari, Tata Motors passenger car division president Rajiv Dube said, “Our next generation and other future passenger vehicles, which are currently being developed, will be rolled out from the Ranjangaon facility. The new models will come in the higher end and will complement the existing range, though some of the existing trims could be phased out from the market.”

With these new models, the company has also planned to re-enter the UK market, sometime in 2008. It was selling its flagship compact car Indica under the ‘Rover City’ badge till 2005, when the British car manufacturer MG Rover went bankrupt.

Mr. Dube said, “We are looking at re-introducing our products in the UK, but nothing has been finalised yet. We will have to create a new distribution network first in the UK to market our cars.”

Tata Motors on Thursday brought out its latest SUV series, the Safari DICOR 2.2 VTT having a 2.2L direct injection common rail engine, whish is priced at Rs 7.33 lakh (ex showroom Delhi).

The company’s new vehicle, which is geared up with a specifically designed turbocharger with a variable turbine technology (VTT), delivers 140 bph power.
