Tata Motors is developing a new petrol powertrain which would be utilised in its premium sports utility vehicles—Harrier and Safari, according to a top company official.
The models currently come with a 2-litre diesel engine.
In an interaction with PTI, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Managing Director Shailesh Chandra said the engine is being developed and will be featured in the two models going ahead.
He noted that the company focused only on diesel powertrain as 80 per cent of the around 2 lakh unit per annum market in the segment, where Harrier and Safari operate, was skewed towards diesel.
