Tata Nano

Tata Nano is a cute little city car & soon it will available with AMT which i hope will increase it is sales,but my dream Nano is one which has in wheel motor with roof top solar charging, making it a perfect zero emission city car.

With the cost of solar panel going down may be within 3-4 four years my intuition says it will be within affordable cost. It is efficiency of the solar panel and cost of battery pack which is the bottle neck. With the amount of money being poured in the battery research soon some break
through will happen and next billionaire will be some who make best use of this opportunity. Driving range of 200km for single charge will be the sweet spot which may will result in huge sales growth.

In fact in wheel drive will be tech which will affect all modes of wheel based transport allowing vehicle designer less restriction while designing the chassis.
