Nano Mileage Rally

Diesel and Motor Engineering PLC (DIMO) arranged a "Nano Mileage Rally" to consolidate the TATA Nano as the most fuel- efficient family car in the market. Almost 50 Nano owners took part in the rally, which covered a distance of 70km from Colombo to Negombo and back.

Representatives from DIMO and TATA Motors were present at the event. Each Nano car was topped with a full tank of fuel and sealed with a security sticker. Each car had to go through several checkpoints on the way to Negombo and back. Once the car returned, trained technicians measured the consumed fuel amount by refilling the tank and the data was tabulated.

Some cars achieved fuel efficiency of over 40km per litre, while the average fuel efficiency was 25km per litre. All customer cars managed a fuel efficiency of over 18km per litre.Drivers who attained the best fuel efficiencies were given cash awards.

Cash awards were handed over by Chairman, DIMO, Ranjith Pandithage ,CEO,DIMO, Gahanath Pandithage, Head of TATA Passenger Cars, Yasantha Wijesekera and Regional Head,TATA Motors, India, S.Ragunathan.
