Old Legend Ambassador Car Coming In Its Electric Avatar
In its electric avatar, the legendary Ambassador car, once emblematic of the wealthy elite, is making a comeback.
Media reports state that Hindustan Motors, the company that makes the well-known brand of automobiles, is considering collaborating with a European company that manufactures electric vehicles. The companies have entered into a partnership to produce electric cars, as reported in different sections of the media.
To begin with, Hindustan Motors will produce electric two-wheelers in cooperation with its European partner. There are also reports that the collaboration will be on a 51:49 basis, with Hindustan Motors holding a majority stake.
It is reported that the next-generation electric vehicle will be produced at Hindustan Motors' Chennai plant, which previously produced Mitsubishi cars.
As of September 2014, Hindustan Motors' Uttarpara plant in West Bengal produced its last Ambassador vehicle.
