history

In 1945 Tata Engineering and Locomotive Co. Ltd. founded, which mainly produced locomotives . In collaboration with the British company Marshall, Sons & Co. , the first road roller was completed three years later . Due to a collaboration with Daimler-Benz AG , the first commercial vehicle was able to leave the company in 1954.

In 1959 a research and development center was opened in Jamshedpur . In 1961 the company ventured into the international market for the first time and began exporting trucks to Sri Lanka .

In 1966 the company's Engineering Research Center was founded, which was to concentrate specifically on the research and development of automobiles. In 1971 the first direct injection engines were produced. The production of heavy commercial vehicles began in 1983.

The Tata 407 , the first commercial vehicle designed in India, left production in 1986. The 407 was followed by the Tata 608 .

In 1994 a joint venture was concluded with Daimler-Benz AG . Tata was able to use it to produce Mercedes cars. In 1998, the Tata Indica was the first car to be produced entirely in India by Tata. In 2001, the joint venture for the production of Mercedes cars ended.

In 2003 the company had produced over three million vehicles. In September 2004 the company was listed on the New York Stock Exchange , making it the first Indian company to be listed there. In the same year the company acquired Daewoo Commercial Vehicles Company , the second largest truck manufacturer in Korea . This resulted in Tata Daewoo Commercial Vehicle , since then the world's sixth largest truck manufacturer. In 2005 the company acquired 21 percent of Hispano Carrocera , a bus manufacturer. In the same year, the one millionth car left production.

At the end of 2006, Tata Motors was criticized for using fertile farmland to build an automobile factory for the company in Singur , West Bengal , thereby depriving around 15,000 farmers of their livelihoods.

Between 2008 and 2018, the company manufactured the Tata Nano , which, initially priced at 100,000 rupees or 1,700 euros, was to become the cheapest four-seater car in the world.
