Palace on wheels
"Guglup" wrote in message ... "Alan S" wrote in message ... Cheers, Alan, Australia -- http://www.flickr.com/photos/alan_s/ http://loraltravel.blogspot.com Latest: On Indian Roads Alan, The information about indian cases on your travelouge isn't correct. From the site There seems to be one major manufacturer of cars in India - Tata. For about half a century one car was the flagship of the fleet, the Ambassador. Tata Motors got into car manufacturing very recently - the late 90's. Till then they were mainly manufacturing trucks. The Ambassador is manufactured by Hindustan Motors. Ambassador(by HM) & the Padmini(manufactured by Premier Motos) used to be the only 2 cars you could see in India earlier. In the 80's, Maruti Suzuki, a joint venture between the Indian Govt & Suzuki came in & turned the market on it's head. Maruti is still #1 in the local car market. Tata Motors is probably #2. Hyundai may be #3. Rest of the market is Honda, Toyota, Chevy, Ford, Hindustan Motors, Mahindra etc. Also Mercedes, BMW, Volvo, Nissan etc. Tata Motors got into the car market mainly in the late 90's with the Indica which is very popular Hindustan Motors still sells around 50-60 thousand Sorry that should 5-10 thousand. new Ambassadors every year which still looks the same from outside. They also manufacture & sell the Mitsubishi Lancer/Cedia etc. Premier doesn't sell cars anymore. |
