Tata Megapixel





Megapixel is a 4 seater concept Range Extended Electric Vehicle (REEV). It uses a 13kWh Lithium Ion Phosphate Battery which can be recharged by Induction Pads. On the move the car uses an onboard 325cc single cylinder petrol engine for recharging (extension of range).











It offers a range of up to 900km with a single tank of fuel. Megapixel has a top speed of 110kph.It will emit 22gm of CO2 per kilometer. The Zero Turn drive system of the Tata Pixel is used in the Tata Megapixel with a higher level of maneuverability. It has four independent electric motors. When parking, the electric motors drive the wheels in opposite directions, while the front wheels are turned at an acute angle, giving megapixel a 2.8 meter turning radius.


Megapixel has dimensions of 3504mm X 1673mm X 1405mm. It has front and rear sliding doors. It also has a built in touchscreen Human Machine Interface (HMI) at the centre of dashboard. The HMI will control temperature, ventilation, driving modes and performance.


Prakash Telang, managing director, India operations, Tata Motors, said, “The Tata Megapixel, developed by our design centers in India, the UK and Italy, is our idea of a city car for discerning motorists in any megacity of the world. It is a result of the progress we have made on the Tata Pixel, displayed last year, and also denotes the company’s future design direction.”
