TATA Motors to roll out Penguin at Pantnagar
TATA Motors is expanding capacity of its Pantnagar facilty in Uttarakhand. The company is planning to manufacture additional 4,000 trucks a month to accommodate a new product on the Ace platform, christened "Penguin".
Penguin is likely to be launched by the end of second quarter of this fiscal. It will be even smaller then Ace, with a payload capacity of around 0.5 tonne.
The capacity of the line in Pantnagar is likely to be ramped up to 1,000 vehicles a day from the present 600 - 700. This includes nearly 200 to 300 Nano's, which are being made at the same plant as well.
At present, TATA manufactures light truck Ace, along with two multi purpose vehicles Magic and Winger based on the same platform at its Pantnagar facility.
