C
Not long ago, the world’s lowest-priced car was launched(投放市场) in Mumbai, India.The Nano, made by Tata Motors, is expected to cause a transportation revolution for millions of Indian families.The small three-meter long car will cost 2,000 dollars, which is about half the price of similar cars.That is expected to make car ownership possible for more Indians.So it is being called “The People’s Car.”
Ratan Tata, Tata Motors chairman, says, “It was never thought of as being the cheapest car but a car that would give the people of India an opportunity to own a car that had not been within their reach before.I hope that is what we will achieve.” Industry observers predict that soon roads throughout the country could be filled with Nanos.Tata, India’s top automaker, has done almost no traditional advertising of the Nano.However, early interest in the vehicle has been huge.The company says the Nano’s website has been visited 30 million times.
Tata Motors says it will begin taking orders for the car on April 9th both at car dealerships and on the Internet.However, the cars will not be ready for purchase(购买) until July.Demand is expected to be far greater than supply.Ratan Tata says the first 100,000 buyers of the car will be chosen by chance.The car is expected to be popular in industrial as well as developing nations.Experts say demand for low-priced automobiles is likely to increase as the international economic crisis continues.
