The news agency noted that MG Rover signed an agreement in December 2002 with Tata Motors to buy 100,000 Indica hatchbacks – called the CityRover in the UK – over five years to sell in Europe, but Tata had said earlier this month the deal could dissolve if MG went ahead with a proposed Chinese venture.
The statement reportedly said the CityRover project will gather momentum with the launch of new products and entry into new markets – the decision was taken after the annual business plan review.
According to Reuters, the two companies announced plans to launch left-hand drive versions of the CityRover that will form the basis of entry into Europe and have agreed on the potential inclusion of the turbo-diesel version of the car.
