BETTER INNOVATION Nano, and Company’s Frugal Engineering Highlighted in Presentation at Windsor, Ontario Event June 8-10

DETROIT, June 7, 2010 – Tata Technologies, a global leader in Engineering Services Outsourcing (ESO), Enterprise Solutions services, and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) today announced that “BETTER INNOVATION on Tour,” will show the Tata Nano, the world’s most affordable car, for the first time ever in Canada at the APMA-Auto21 Annual Conference in Windsor, Ontario, June 8-10.

The conference will take place at Caesars Windsor, June 7-10. More than 800 members of Canada’s automotive component supply industry and research community are expected to attend. A number of industry-leading speakers, including Hushedar Mehta, Tata Technologies Vice President – Global Services, will appear, providing insight on upcoming automotive innovation and emerging technologies. Mehta will speak on Wednesday, June 9, about Tata Technologies’ frugal and sustainability engineering capabilities, using the Tata Nano as an example of those capabilities put to work. The BETTER INNOVATION Nano will remain on display, following his presentation, through the close of the event on Thursday, June 10. Tata Technologies representatives from the company’s Windsor, Ontario, Canada headquarters facility will be available to answer questions about Tata Technologies and the Nano throughout the event as well.

Tata Technologies played a key role in engineering the Nano, which is produced by Tata Motors in India, for the Indian market. The company is using the car to highlight its full-vehicle engineering and design capabilities to clients, engineering students and select automotive and engineering media.

BETTER INNOVATION on Tour kicked off in April with visits to client sites in Illinois, Michigan, and a stop at SAE Headquarters in Warrendale, Penn. In May, the tour visited Tata Technologies client Case New Holland, in Illinois, and made a stop on May 14 at “Goodyear Innovation Day,” at the Goodyear Innovation Center in Akron, Ohio.

The Nano featured in BETTER INNOVATION on Tour is owned by Tata Technologies and is on loan from its Center for Advanced Engineering and Design in Pune, India. It is the first-ever Nano to be displayed in North America, making its debut at the Tata Technologies BETTER INNOVATION event at the Detroit Science Center in January.

“The innovative thinking that brought the Tata Nano to market is symbolic of what Tata Technologies has to offer the automotive industry,” said Warren Harris, Tata Technologies’ President and COO. “Tata Technologies was front-and-center in engineering and developing the Nano; working closely with Tata Motors and with a significant number of the Nano project suppliers.”

Tata Technologies was involved from concept to launch on the Nano project, working on the concept, advanced engineering, body-in-white, interior, exterior and even playing a role in the innovative approach taken to manufacturing.

Tata Technologies contributed to more than 18 patents on the Nano project, according to Mehta, “Our work on the Nano is part of a sweeping wave of change within the automotive industry – the use of truly global engineering resources.”
