Suzanne Venables-Wood is a member of the IET Manufacturing Panel The reinvention paradigm However, it also poses the questions: is relying on a lesser-known foreign conglomerate right for the UK automotive industry? Is this sort of partnership essential for survival in a global market? Will Tata Motors decide, in the long-term, to shift manufacturing outside of the UK where costs are fundamentally cheaper, thus passing on the cost savings to the customer?įor now, it would appear that a company born out of the independence from British rule is the saviour to our depleting and unstable automotive industry but this may only be a short-term fix. The acquisition could also help to strengthen the future of both British brands and new vehicle developments such as the Nano and successive products.

Tata's branding is also not as strong globally as that of the automotive giants, so the deal would strategically boost its reputation. In terms of experience, Tata Motors is comparatively immature in order to succeed in a truly global economy it needs to be seen as an established company that can play with the 'big boys'. This could be good news for both the UK and India.

Tata is seen as the front runner to buy the two British brands, and the group is reported to have pledged to keep Jaguar and Land Rover's sites open. This could potentially cause further depletion of the automotive industry and more job losses if the intended buyer decides to close the UK bases in favour of cheaper manufacturing. US company Ford announced in June 2007 that it intended to sell UK-based Jaguar and Land Rover as a bundle. However, Tata Motors could also be a major player in underpinning the UK car industry. The Nano is said to be environmentally acceptable and efficient, achieving 50 miles to the gallon, with diesel versions and two deluxe models on the horizon. Tata Motors has launched the world's cheapest car, the Nano, on sale in India for about £1,300. If you don't know the brand name yet, you soon will - not only for the new products, but also because Tata Motors may just be the saviour of many UK-based jobs. Hot on the heels of the West is Tata Motors, part of the Tata Group based in India. No longer are Western countries the only real players in the automotive game. We all know the global economy is shifting. If you ask me Indian solution may be just a quick fix for UK
