Automotive component giant Bosch is banking on India’s booming auto market. The German company will invest Rs 2000 crore ($430 million) in India from now till 2012 and hopes to manufacture two million common-rail units a year by 2013.
How is this figure possible? A big chunk of that two million will be for the Tata Nano. Bosch has announced that it’s developing a common-rail diesel system for the Tata Nano. Called the Bosch CRS 1.1, it’s speculated to be part of a single cylinder unit sized about 550-650 cc, with 25 to 30 bhp and adequate torque, according to reports. So far Bosch has supplied Tata with the Nano’s front and rear drum brakes, starter, alternator and fuel injection system.
After Germany, India is the next biggest recepient of Bosch’s R&D funds, which totalled €3 billion in 2009. About 15 per cent of Indian made Bosch components are exported, mainly to Europe and South Korea.

Tata should market this car here….provide more competition in Malaysia with their low price tag (how I wish).
If priced at an afordable, kapchai riders are a little safer and a more comfy.
Provided there are better trafic management in the pipeline, in case this Nano jam the roads in Malaysia
if you want this junk into Malaysia, you can't cause its way too slow and will cause chaos on Malaysian roads!
A single cylinder DIESEL with 550-650cc and 25 to 30bhp ?
Wow! Not too long ago, that motorbikes with 650cc single cylinder petrol engine had about 42hp max.
The Yamaha XT660 from 2010 has only 48hp… ;)
trust me its for countries like india thailand vietnam peru…where they use tuktuk/auto…..malaysia cant…
in fact they main purpose ratan tata building this car is to upgrade peoples life from a 2 wheeler to a 4 wheeler in india and other countries…very highly populated countries
No offense, but some of you guys talk as if those Kancils on MY roads were truly safe, fast, and "not junk".
