Tata Motors has launched an all-new BS6 complaint Tata Ace Gold BS6 Petrol variant in the recent auto expo at Greater Noida. Tata Ace or Chota Hathi is ruling the Indian roads since 2005 and tata has sold more than 22 Lakhs units to date. With Tata Ace, Tata has given a good competition to Mahindra and Ashok Leyland mini trucks.
What we think, why Tata Motors has launched the petrol variant because we think in future Tata may give petrol plus CNG options so of now they have given a petrol variant only. There is no such official announcement, this is just our guess.
