Tata's Innovative Nano

Tata's Nano is an extremely low cost car from India. Toyota, Hyun-dai, Honda, Kia, VW, Skoda, they all provide small and inexpesive cars. why is Nano innovative? Before we point it out, we should think about what is innovative. What we usually do is, to put the best, last technology into our product or to provide more functions. are these functions all necessary?

this is the point of Tata Nano. this is a car only costs $ 2500 (yes, believe ur eyes.) the most important process of this design is to figure out, what is really important or a must for a car. nano passed the safety test, provide enough seat capacity (the wheels are placed on the very edge of the car), doesn't dissipate much gasoline, the maximum speed is only arround 100 kmh, but for the most people in most country (beside germany ;P) it is way more than enough. if we live in a big metropolis, it would be a very good choice.

furthermore, it has build in a modular design. it means, they can build and ship the components separately. it is not only a advantage of cost, but further development. they have more flexibility to do some additional change in a easier way.

applause!
