Recent reports suggest that a stream of executives and engineers has been visiting Tata Technologies to see the Nano. Tata Tech has also lent the car to manufacturers so more engineers can get a close look.
For "industry veterans" it's hard to believe that it is "possible to make a $2,500 car until they walk around the Nano. ... The visitors don't necessarily plan to build a car for the Nano's price.
They want to apply Tata's 'frugal engineering' philosophy to their product lines." A good part "of savings come in manufacturing. The Nano's steel body panels have simple shapes than are inexpensive to make. The tools to produce the panels were designed to last three or four times the standard life."
