What would you do if you have to travel in terrorist infested areas and expect gun fire or grenades to be hurled upon you? Simple drive this bullet proof grenade repelling small car developed Tata Motors.
The Indian vehicle manufacturer which participated in the recently held DEFEXPO in New Delhi showcased a Micro Bullet Proof Vehicle. This two seater electric car can be considered as the Tata Nano among bullet proof cars.
Tata's bullet proof car is a small electric vehicle that can run on a single charge for up to six hours. It's design reminds us of an insect thanks to its tiny port holes placed around the vehicle. These port holes will be used by people using the vehicle to fire bullets at attackers.
The nano bullet proof car is not something that you can expect to see on the street anywhere in the near future. Tata Motors has developed this vehicle along with the military’s research division. The aim of the project was to develop a small combat vehicle that can be used in critical situations in urban environments.
The Tata micro bullet proof vehicle can actually climb stairs. This feature will be particularly useful for combat units who have to take on terrorist attacks that are similar to the 26/11 attacks in Mumbai.
The bullet proof car has slanted roof and walls to repel grenade attacks. The windscreen sis made from bullet proof glass. Its size has been kept to low to increase protection to the passengers. Capable of reaching a top speed of only 20kmph, this car will not be a conventional vehicle.
