Tata Nano Electric (Jayem Neo) Design
As Tata Motors will be supplying the bodyshells of the Nano to Jayem Automotives, it’s pretty much for sure that the Neo will share all its body panels with the Tata model. There might be some changes in the styling owing to slightly different headlamps, but overall, the Neo will look much like a Nano. Of course, there won’t be even a single Tata badge; the Neo will have Jayem badges and an Electra EV insignia for the electric power system. Also, expect the Neo to wear OLA decals as the initial 400 units will be supplied to the cab aggregator. Tata might launch a more powerful version under its own branding at a later stage.
