A 1942 model armoured carrier vehicle called the ‘Tatanagar’ was Jamshedpur’s contribution to the war effort...
The ‘Tatanagar’, fitted with a Ford V8 engine along with armoured hulls sourced from the Railways and armoured plates, axles and tyres from Tata Steel, were the first vehicles to roll out of Tata Motors (earlier TELCO) 73 years ago.
The vehicle, which had won the hearts and admiration of all with its anti-tank and transportation capability in the war zone has saved many lives with its impenetrable hulls by ordinary bullets and had the distinction of serving the Indian Army as a multi-role platform during World War II.
