Tata vehicles for BASF to supply innovative answers
Tuesday, April 14th, 2009BASF India’s Tata Motors Nano motor vehicle venture to give yield and results to lessen emissions and enhance fuel competence, and enhance the complete vehicle design.
“We believe that to help customers be more successful for the company’s future strategic growth,” president and CEO of BASF India, South Asia head of PrasadChandran said: “As a result, BASF is working closely with our customers and strive to provide tailor-made innovative solutions. BASF for Tata Nano project in terms of a very special significance, because in this project, BASF across geography, technology and the limits of thinking in order to meet the special needs of Tata companies. ”
Development of products for the Nano car challenge is the need for Tata Motors tailored to the specific needs of its various solutions and processes. In the Nano project, BASF global network to form a concerted effort of many experts, has led to the birth of innovative programs.
BASF for the Tata Nano motor vehicle to give innovative results
With good cost-effective emission lessening results
For instance, BASF catalyst subdivision Nano has deduced a catalytic converter to empower it to get concurrently prevailing emission benchmarks in India. BASF in India collaboration of restricted skilled population in the United States, colleagues, and eventually to realise a good cost-effectiveness, and to get concurrently the set free requirements. BASF in India, Chennai (Chennai) with a catalyst fabricating facility.
Reduce vehicle burden to enhance fuel competence
Nano to use the plastic intake manifold Tata Visteon by the production and use of BASF’s Ultramid -based glass fiber reinforced engineering plastics. Intake manifold for delivery to the engine combustion air requirements, the traditional use of aluminum material. Ultramid in lieu of aluminum, 40 percent can reduce the weight of components to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions, which has become the basic characteristics of Nano. From the design phase of the computer simulation study, the pilot phase to test the components, BASF, through its Plastics Technology Center for the Tata Motors to provide a series of development support.
Spice for Nano
The Nano motor vehicle, BASF amid the most significant addition to the body shade of color and gloss. Beginning in 1998, BASF has been for Tata Motors Indica, Sumo, Safari, Indigo and other automotive cover in paint enterprise models. At present, BASF Coatings has been picked as the Tata Motors Nano body-color, one of the suppliers.
“For this kind of Nano project to provide innovative products, services and efficient process is particularly important.” Group vice president, BASF Asia-Pacific Automotive Industry Team Leader Mr Ouda, said: “Such projects as the global supply system business, BASF is very obvious advantages. BASF has in Europe, North America and Asia, the concept of a number of innovative car manufacturers has developed plastics, catalysts and coatings solutions. The purpose of doing so, we not only supply products with a price advantage. In contrast, BASF close cooperation with customers, integrated cost and performance considerations, the overall development of the most efficient solution.
