Tata has begun teasing their planned Auto Expo 2023 exhibits. The automaker has confirmed through the teasers that it would showcase its advancements in connected car technology, hydrogen as a fuel alternative, and ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems) at the Expo.
ADAS
Like its other automakers, Tata is developing its own version of the radar-based safety system. The Harrier’s facelift has already been captured in our exclusive spy photos using a radar module. The typical ADAS feature set comprises elements like rear cross-traffic alert, automated emergency braking, lane-keep assistance, and forward collision detection. The Harrier and Safari facelifts are anticipated to be the first Tata vehicles to receive the ADAS package. The safety technology is already available in its sector rival, the Mahindra XUV700, and it will be included in the next facelifted MG Hector.
Hydrogen Fuel Cell
Another teaser implied that the automaker would display a fuel cell prototype at the Expo by showing a hydrogen fuel tank. Hydrogen-powered vehicles have electric drivetrains with fuel cells that produce electricity through a chemical reaction. Fuel cells may be packed more densely than battery packs because hydrogen is kept in high-pressure sealed tanks that can be refilled in a matter of minutes. Hyundai, Toyota, and BMW are a few additional automakers working on FCEVs as alternatives to battery-powered EVs. Toyota is doing a test run of its hydrogen-powered Mirai vehicle in India.
Connected Car Technology
To stay competitive, Tata will also showcase its improvements in linked car technologies. It presently has its “IRA”-connected internet technology, which provides a few telematics and remote operation features. A whole new infotainment system with a larger display and cutting-edge operating system that offers more connected technology and remote features is what we’re anticipating.
Additional Tata exhibits at the 2023 auto show
We anticipate Tata to demonstrate the redesigned Harrier and Safari in addition to the technical demonstrations. With certain feature additions, both might receive inside and exterior cosmetic changes. Additionally, we anticipate seeing the Tata Punch EV in action and learning more about the launch dates for the automaker’s planned ICE and electric (and now fuel cell) vehicles.
