March 18th, 2008 — GM, chevrolet
General Motors may have been a little slow in capturing the India growth story but it is trying hard to make up for lost time. The company, which lays claim to barely 3 per cent of the domestic passenger car market, is pulling out many stops to script the growth saga: a second small car priced lower than the Spark is under development and if things work out well, low-cost commercial vehicles such as pick-ups and vans would also be sold in India.
The auto giant’s second manufacturing facility with 1.4 lakh unit annual capacity at Talegaon is ready for trial production; a separate powertrain facility is also already in the works.

Euro NCAP today releases results for its assessment of the modified Nissan Navara. The upgraded car has achieved three stars for adult occupant protection. After Euro NCAP’s earlier tests highlighted serious safety concerns, Nissan promptly modified all new production vehicles and initiated a Service Campaign to upgrade the airbag software of all Navaras produced since 2005.
Euro NCAP recently released a struck-through one star rating for the 08 model year Navara. The poor rating was due in part to the delayed firing of the airbag in the frontal impact test. Nissan reacted swiftly and developed new airbag software to ensure better occupant protection. Production Navaras are now equipped with the improved software and an extensive Service Campaign is underway to upgrade owners’ vehicles .
