Two new Tata models from DIMO

Diesel and Motor Engineering PLC (DIMO) with Tata Motors launched two cars, Zest and Bolt, to the Sri Lankan market last week.

Tata Motors launched the Zest in India in August 2014 and the Bolt in January 2015, under its Horizonext strategy. The cars have gone down well in India for its new design language, driving pleasure and high-tech, segment-first, connectivity features.

Manufactured in Pune, India, the Zest and Bolt come with world-class manufacturing quality, benchmarked across global brands and engineered on a completely modified platform.

Head of International Business, Passenger Vehicles Business Unit, Tata Motors, Johnny Oommen said, "We at Tata Motors are delighted to bring two new products to the Sri Lankan market - the dynamic compact sedan, Zest and the sporty hatchback, Bolt. The two cars, loaded with many segment-leading features, are built to global design and product standards and will appeal equally to the first time buyers and to automobile owners looking for a new and exciting product."

"Designed by our teams across India, UK and Italy, Zest and Bolt are the first two products under our Horizonext strategy and represent the new DNA of our passenger vehicles business. We expect Bolt and Zest to further strengthen our presence in the local market," he said.

Managing Director and Chairman, DIMO, Ranjith Pandithage said, "We, at DIMO are proud to bring feature-rich, fuel-efficient cars for Sri Lankan customers.

We are confident that the combination of a great product with good service and parts back-up will firmly establish the Zest and Bolt in Sri Lanka."
