Torotrak has announced that it has entered into a License Agreement with Tata Motors, which will provide the Indian OEM with the rights to apply Torotrak's full-toroidal traction drive technology to a wide range of Tata vehicles

Under the terms of the license, which is subject to formal approval by the Indian Government, Tata Motors Limited has purchased the non-exclusive rights to develop and manufacture transmissions which contain Torotrak's technology for incorporation and sale in TATA branded and co-branded products.

The licence covers use of the Torotrak technology in four fields of application (passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, medium & heavy commercial vehicles, and construction equipment) and also allows Tata Motors to manufacture and sell transmissions to other customers of Torotrak in the Indian market.
