Executive Summary Over the past few years, policymakers have grappled with the challenge of regulating nanotechnology, whose novelty, complexity and rapid commercialization has highlighted the discrepancies of science and technology oversight. One of the important lessons learned from this experience has been the crucial role of foresight in governing nanotechnology. Active nanostructures are a popular categorization of an emerging class of nanotechnology. The National Science Foundation first solicited “Active Nanostructures and Nanosystems” grants in 2005. Policy reports often refer to greater and different types of risks to society caused by the recently emerging novel applications of nanotechnology, including active nanostructures.

International supply chains have become more global, and competition has increased. Each Industry and Trade Summary addresses a different commodity/industry and contains information on trends in consumption, production, and trade, as well as an analysis of factors affecting industry trends and competitiveness in domestic and foreign markets. This report on the passenger vehicle industry primarily covers the period 2007 through 2011, with 2012 data where available. Papers in this series reflect ongoing research by USITC international trade analysts. The work does not represent the views of the USITC or any of its individual Commissioners.

  • Tata Motors Limited - Profile & Capabilities
    Tata Motors Limited - Profile & Capabilities Brief history and range of current business We were incorporated on September 1, 1945 as a public limited company under the Indian Companies Act VII of 1913 as Tata Locomotive and Engineering Company Limited and we received a certificate of commencement of business on November 20, 1945. Our name was changed to Tata Engineering and Locomotive Company Limited on September 24, 1960, and to Tata Motors Limited on July 29, 2003. Tata Motors Limited is incorporated and domiciled in India. We commenced operations as a steam locomotive manufacturer. This business was discontinued in 1971. Since 1954, we have been manufacturing automotive vehicles. The automotive vehicle business commenced with the manufacture of commercial vehicles under financial and technical collaboration with Daimler-Benz AG (now Daimler AG) of Germany. This agreement ended in 1969. We produced only commercial vehicles until 1991, when we started producing passenger vehicles as well. Together with our consolidated subsidiaries we form the Tata Motors Group. In June 2008, we acquired the Jaguar Land Rover business from Ford Motor Company. Jaguar Land Rover is a global automotive business, which designs, manufactures and sells Jaguar luxury sedans and sports cars and Land Rover premium all-terrain vehicles as well as related parts, accessories and merchandise. The Jaguar Land Rover business has internationally recognized brands, a product portfolio of award-winning luxury performance cars and premium all-terrain vehicles, brand- specific global distribution networks and research and development capabilities. As a part of our acquisition of the Jaguar Land Rover business, we acquired three major manufacturing facilities located in Halewood, Solihull and Castle Bromwich and two advanced design and engineering facilities located at Whitley and Gaydon, all in the United Kingdom, together with national sales companies in several countries.
