Tata's rival to the M-800?



I have been following Tata's development for some time now and have seen many different versions of the TATA ACE being tested around Pune. Recently, I came across this version, which clearly shows Tata's intentions.
You can very well see the new door on the left side of the vehicle. Hints of a rural transport vehicle with a soft top instead of a hard roof? I have also seen other test variants which hinted at a hard top passenger version and if TATA does launch such a vehicle, it would sell at a price lower than the M-800, but with a 700cc diesel engine, endowing it with low running costs.

Shall keep this post updated with more pictures, which shall be reaching me very soon.

I have also taken spy pics of Piaggio and Mahindra working on small four-wheeled cargo vehicles to compete with the TATA ACE. while, i couldnt take pics of the Mahindra vehicle, i have in possession pics of Piaggio's upcoming small cargo vehicle. Seen between Panchgani and Mahabaleshwar, there were two prototypes, undergoing serious testing with passengers as well load in the rear cargo bay.





I had also taken spy pics of the new telcoline being tested by TATA. This was way back in Nov 2006 and i presume now the world knows about it too. Here are some pictures :
