Engine, Clutch
• Nano is a rear engine – rear wheel drive car
• This layout helps in having maximum passenger space in smaller overall vehicle
dimensions
• This layout also helps in reducing NVH at driver seat
All Aluminium
Two-cylinder 624 cc Gasoline unit
– Making it light weight and high performance engine
Max Power of 35PS@5500rpm
Max Torque of 48Nm@3000rpm
– Combined with the low weight gives a benchmark power to weight ratio of
0.058
which is more than any entry level car
CLUTCH
• Hydraulic clutch system for reduced effort
• Zero vibration Pedal

Transmission, Suspension
TRANSMISSION: Gear Box
• 4 forward speed & 1 reverse
• All forward gears are synchro-mesh for smooth gear engagement.
• Cable operated Gear Shift for smooth gear shifting
The gear ratios are a perfect combination of city and highway driving
Gear ratios: 1st gear: 3.45 2nd: 1.95 3rd: 1.26 4th: 0.838 reverse: 3.08
Gear Speed (km/h) Gear Speed (km/h)
1st 10 3rd 30-50
2nd 20-30 4th 50-70
SUSPENSION
Suspension is assembly of spring & damper mounted between body & axle to
– control vertical vehicle oscillations
– Absorb road shocks & give comfort (Ride quality)
– Safe maneuvering (handling quality)
Nano rides on Mc pherson strut at front and semi-trailing arm susp. at rear.
