Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles (TMPV), a subsidiary of Tata Motors, is returning to South Africa after its 2019 exit, and is doing so in partnership with JSE-listed automotive group Motus as its exclusive distributor.
Motus also distributes the Renault, Mitsubishi, Kia and Hyundai ranges.
Tata Motors’ portfolio ranges from compact entry-level hatchbacks and crossovers to sports-utility vehicles, but it is not yet known what models will be made available in South Africa.
“South Africa is an important market in our global expansion journey,” says TMPV international business head Yash Khandelwal.
“With our class-leading products and a reputed partner in Motus, we are here to offer our South African customers a choice of vehicles that are safe, stylish and innovation-driven.
“We will deliver a distinctive and future-ready mobility experience, backed by attractive pricing, competitive financing and industry-leading aftersales support.”
TMPV says it will also focus on local value creation by supporting employment across the sales, service, parts distribution and training functions.
“From advanced safety features and robust build quality to future-focused mobility solutions, TMPV’s upcoming range is aligned to the needs and realities of the market,” comments Motus TMPV South Africa distribution business CEO Thato Magasa.
