Tata's UK R&D showcases Tata Bolt EV Prototype

Tata Motors is not far behind, when it comes to electric vehicles and hybrid technology. The company is also willing to pioneer into the electric vehicles segment and cause some significant growth and development in that space.

Tata Motors’ R&D team in the UK has developed an electric vehicle prototype with the Tata Bolt brand and moniker. Besides the Tata Bolt EV, Tata Motors will also be introducing new electric vehicles in the future.

The Tata Bolt EV gets powered by the new e-Drive powertrain developed by Tata Motors. The 80 kW electric motor can help travel a 100 kilometers per full charge, which gets mated to a single-speed transmission. The Tata Bolt EV sprints from 0-100 kmph within 10 seconds with a top speed of 135 kmph.

Similar to the regular Bolt in design, features and equipment, the exterior sports the similar black-cladded bumper in both the front and the rear. The bootlid and the rear windshield boast of the new designs and styling of the Tata Motors, as seen in the Bolt as well.

The interior gets the same touchscreen infotainment system, as in the regular Bolt, while the cabin gets customized for an electric car with new dials for reading the battery status.

This 5-seater Tata Bolt is a zero emission model electric vehicle, which also boasts of some great boot space. Replacing the mechanical aspects of a car like the gear lever, the Tata Bolt EV also gets a rotary dial as seen in the Jaguar Land Rover.

Showcased as a prototype, Tata Motors hasn’t made any confirmation on if and when the Tata Bolt EV will go into production.
