Tata Motors to boost UK Engineering Base

Tata Motors’ European Technical Centre (TMETC) announced that it will be expanding its partnership with WMG at the University of Warwick. TMETC plans to increase its team of highly skilled engineers working on the campus by 40% over the next two years.

Tata Motors has invested over £85m in automotive R&D at TMETC since 2005 and it already has a team of 240 engineers and researchers working alongside WMG colleagues. The team had already worked on Tata Motors’ Vista Electric Vehicle. The vehicle will be built at a factory in Coventry and will be available to fleet customers in the UK later this year. Tata Motors’ Pixel City Car, which was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show earlier this month, has also been developed on the WMG campus.
