Tata Nano Mileage Challenge Rally

Diesel and Motor Engineering PLC (DIMO) recently organised the second Tata Nano Mileage Challenge Rally for Tata Nano owners in Colombo. The rally was flagged off from Colombo to raise customer awareness. Twenty-five Tata Nano owners took part in the rally, including a few woman drivers.

The rally started off, opposite the Colombo Municipal Council and included a route going down to Wadduwa and back.

S.P.S. Sampath won the challenge by clocking a fuel efficiency of above 50 kmpl, in his Tata Nano. A.M.P. Priyankara won the second place while K.S.P. Kumara came third.

The average fuel efficiency of the participants was above 30 kmpl during the event.

The Tata Nano Mileage Challenge Rally is part of a program by Tata Motor and DIMO to increase awareness and educate customers on driving habits to obtain maximum mileage from their Tata Nano. During the rally the participants were provided with a time chart, route map and riding tips, which had to be followed to reach the final destination. 'Top-up to top-up' method was used to calculate the fuel efficiency. This method ensured accurate measurement of the fuel consumed and mileage achieved.
