The car reportedly uses super strong glue rather than welds in some joints - a technique that a handful of other car makers have used before, though perhaps never as extensively. Tata Motors' cost-cutting drive was relentless: the windshield has just one washer rather than two, the metal steering column was hollowed out to save on steel, cheaper bearings - strong enough to perform well up to (70 kph) but fast wearing...
