Tata Motors expects about 50% of its passenger vehicle range to feature AMT (automated manual transmission) by 2020.
Tim Leverton, Tata Motors president and head of advanced and product engineering, said: “Yes, we are looking at introducing AMT technology in the future models. We have already showcased Nano AMT during the Auto Expo. By 2020 we expect 50% of our product portfolio to have AMT technology.”

The company has already introduced AMT in buses, and plans to introduce the technology in trucks. Magneti Marelli supplies AMT technology to Tata Motors, which plans to introduce hybrid buses in India in the coming three to five years, CarTrade.com reported citing PTI.
Leverton said: “We have already sold buses in Europe with hybrid technology. As electric vehicles are still long way off due to the costly batteries, hybrid technology is the closest we are in terms of launching here in the next three to five years.
The company is also working on fuel cell technology, Leverton added.
