It will sport a 30-litre fuel tank and 4-speed manual gearshift.
It will have front disk and rear drum brakes.
The company claims mileage of 23 km per litre.

Meets all safety requirements
Environment-friendly
THE NANO - Stylish, comfortable
The People's Car, designed with a
family in mind, has a roomy passenger compartment with generous leg space
and head room. It can comfortably seat four persons. Four
doors with high seating position make
ingress and egress easy.
The People's Car has a rear-wheel drive, all-aluminium, two-cylinder,
623 cc, 33 PS, multi point fuel injection petrol engine. This is the first time that a two-cylinder gasoline engine is being used in a car with single balancer shaft. The lean design strategy has helped minimise
weight, which helps maximise performance per
unit of energy consumed and delivers high
fuel efficiency. Performance is controlled by a specially designed
electronic engine management system.
THE NANO - Fuel-efficient engine
THE NANO - Meets all safetyrequirements
The People's Car's safety performance exceeds current
regulatory requirements. With an all sheet-metal body, it has a
strong passenger compartment, with safety features such as crumple zones, intrusion-resistant doors, seat belts, strong
seats and anchorages, and the rear tailgate glass
bonded to the body. Tubeless tyres further enhance safety.
THE NANO - Environment-friendly
The People's Car's tailpipe emission performance exceeds regulatory
requirements. In terms of overall pollutants, it has a
lower pollution level than two-wheelers being
manufactured in India today. The high fuel
efficiency also ensures that the car has low carbon
dioxide emissions, thereby providing the twin benefits of an affordable transportation solution
with a low carbon footprint.
He informed that the car is 8 per cent smaller bumper to bumper, than the Maruti800 but at the same time 21 per cent larger in its interiors and can sit up to four people.
