New Delhi: In India, it is easy to own a car but people think twice while taking it on road! The continuous soar in the fuel prices has forced people in the country to keep their hands tight when it comes to steering. Keeping this mind, the Indian car manufacturer giant TATA has come up with its latest unique edition named as MEGAPIXEL.To launch its unique variant, Tata Motors has tied up with Luxembourg based company Motor Development International (MDI). The two developed an engine technology that will use compressed air as a fuel.
