Ashok Leyland Shelves Car Project

-Ashok Leyland has decided not pursue its compact car project any further.

- The company, along with its joint-partner Nissan, had earlier decided to explore the possibility of bringing out a car that would target the compact market.

A senior Hinduja Group executive attributed this to the intense competition in the compact car segment. Ashok Leyland’s decision to stay away from the car business may be a wise move, as it has just entered into an increasingly competitive segment of light commercial vehicles with its LCV, the Dost. It would rather utilise its resources to get a foothold in a business which is an extension of its core M&HCV business, rather than venture into a new territory altogether.

-The Group is also learnt to be looking at new opportunities for business from the aviation industry.
-The Hinduja-owned Defiance Technologies is scouting for a partnership or acquisition in this space, and an announcement in this regard may come in three to four months.

GM-India's Wuling Hong Guang spied*

-General Motors will introduce a few Chinese vans in the Indian market in 2012. These products will be sourced from the SAIC stable. CarWale have caught the HongTu, the EECO challenger on test in Vadodra. While that will take care of bringing volumes from the goods transportation sector, here’s a more interesting vehicle that will give the Xylo a run for its money.

-GM India will rename this vehicle and perhaps sell it under a new brand. The vehicles will wear the Chevy bowtie however. The branding is still work in progress and it is expected to bombard the market in late 2011 or early 2012. As some parts will be sourced from China, the cost of the vehicle is expected to stay below 7.5 lakh rupees.

-It can seat 7-8 people in comfort and with flexible rear seating (2nd and 3rd row have flat-folding seats) it can be sold to the taxi markets too. Indians will love the leather seats and beige interiors, but the black dashboard looks bland.

-The Hong Guang’s chassis was adjusted and optimized by Lotus Engineering in the United Kingdom. Under the hood, we’re expecting GM to plonk the 1.3-liter SMARTECH XSDE (Multi-jet) engine. GM was also said to be in talks with Piaggio to source a low capacity engine and it remains to be seen if that deal is secured.
