Tata Motors is working, researching and finding new ways to imbibe three new technologies – electric batteries, hydrogen fuel cells and hydrogen internal combustion engine (ICE) to achieve its ambitious net-zero emissions target by 2045. The company is also planning to reach a 100 per cent renewable energy goal by the end of this decade.
“Battery electric, hydrogen fuel cell, and hydrogen ICE could be the three technologies which have the potential of being emission-free. That is what we will have to work towards,” said Girish Wagh, president, of Tata Motors, on the sidelines of Auto Expo 2023.
India’s car market is soon to be the third largest in the world, with electric models making up just 1 percent of total car sales of about 38 lakh last year but the government wants to grow this to 30 percent by 2030.
The native automobile company is already the largest EV manufacturer in the passenger vehicle sector in the country and is aiming to bring a revolutionary change whose impact and dominance will be experienced all over the world. Tata Motors is working rigorously and has revealed two pre-production concepts of the Sierra Electric SUV and Harrier EV at the 2023 Auto Expo.

Tata Sierra EV- What’s new in store for us this time?
This is not the first time that the Tata Sierra is being showcased at the Auto Expo by the giant automobile company. Tata Sierra started its journey back in the 1990s as a three door sporting utility vehicle and the brand name is still well known among its fan even today. Tata Motors had unveiled a concept model of Tata Sierra in 2020 and now in 2023, we get to check the all new Tata Sierra with its new updates and features.
The design has been kept clean, the front end sports conventional surfaces but still looks impressive and dazzling with a slim LED light array at the top bar. The design of the rear has been kept minimal and very sleek, and the LED light bar at the rear has showcased a neat and discreet Sierra lettering.

At the side, we have regular doors and feature the conventional five-door layout with a flush door handle system. Tata designers have managed to keep the look of the original car by keeping the signature fixed glass house that is curved all the way upto the roof.
Tata Motors has not revealed the technical specifications but it is expected to deliver a range of around 500 km. The alloy-finished wheels of the car look very striking, accompanied by the advanced sports tyre.
It has a two-spoke steering wheel, with a large Infotainment screen. The car is spacious and the front seats get their own set of resting arms and are larger than the previous version. It has a clean centre console with a large charging pad.

In the back seat, there is a massive headrest given for the passengers enjoying their ride in the backseat. The backseats resemble Ottoman-type seating and seem very comfortable. As it is an electric vehicle, it has a flat floor offering ample amount of space and comfort for its users.
The interior of the car portrays a luxurious image but as it is a Sierra, it will have some off-roading capabilities too if needed. There are three parking sensors with no tailpipes as it is an EV. It also has nice large and stout rocker panels too.
