DELHI: Tata Motors will offer keyless entry and operations future cars. The technology introduces is called “Passive Entry Passive Start Systems” which has been designed and developed by Germany based Marquardt will be made available to Tata Motors.
The company has received its largest order from India last year and has decided to set up a research and development centre in Pune, Maharashtra. Marquardt is the sole supplier of the system to a range of luxury car makers across borders and brands. Mr. Herald Marquardt, the CEO of Marquardt said that the new cars will roll out starting Q3 of 2016.
The new technology offers great convenience and security as well. The overall system comprises of an electronic key, an on-board computer, couple of sensors and locking system. The electronic key needs to be present inside the car for the owner to be able to enter and operate the car. The owner can start the car with a press of a button. If the electronic key gets lost, a duplicate key can be quickly generated using the car and owner data. The lost key can be easily disabled so that it can’t be misused. Unfortunately, the system cannot be retrofitted.
