2011 Tata Pixel Concept is city car, it is presenting at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show. Pixel at just over three meters in lengths, Tata claims the Pixel is "the most package efficient four-seater in the world," being able to "comfortably accommodate four adults".
The Tata’s highlight of its the Zero Turn system, which enables maneuvering and parking in tight spaces. An Infinitely Variable Transmission (IVT) assists rotation of the outer rear wheel forwards and the inner rear wheel backwards during low-speed maneuvers, with the result being a turning circle radius of just 2.6 meters.
In keeping with the modern microcar trend, Tata claims that the Pixel will return more than 60 mpg and only releases 89 grams of C02 per kilometer. The efficiency comes by way of a 1.2-liter three-cylinder turbodiesel, which, though it isn't a full hybrid, employs stop-start technology and regenerative battery charging.
Powering the Tata Pixel is a 1.2-litre 3-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine of unspecified output, which will enable the Indian concept to cover 100 Km on just 3.4-litres of fuel (69 US mpg) and have CO2 emission levels of 89 grams per Km.
Even though no exact dates have been specified, the Tata Pixel could be heading into production in the near future.
Lastly, for maximum maneuverability, the concept is equipped with a "Zero Turn toroidal traction-drive" system which gives the Pixel an impressive turning radius of just 2.6 meters (8.5 feet).
