General Motors India Ltd. will be introducing six new cars in the next two years in India. The company is converting their Halol facility in Gujarat to a commercial vehicle production hub from 85,000units to 1Lakh units, and are shifting all car production to Talegaon. These six new launches will come in a total of 14 fuel variants, which means that General Motors is betting big on diesel and alternate fuel for their new products. We can look forward to the Beat LPG and the Diesel this year.
So what exactly are the new launches then? Well, there are two LCV’s (one a pickup and the second a van), a hatchback, a notchback, a small car and an SUV. Apart from the Beat LPG, the first quarter of 2011 will  see the new facelifted Chevrolet Tavera with a BS IV compliant engine from ICML. This will be a 2-litre common rail turbodiesel engine producing 120bhp.
They will also showcase an all new Chevrolet Electric mini-car in April 2011, standing firm on their commitment to have more environmentally friendly products. There’s also a fair chance that the ever-popular Chevrolet Spark may come with smaller engines making it significantly more competitive in the small car space. With effectively four passenger cars in the pipeline GM is gearing up for another successful year in the Indian car market. Stay tuned for more!
