Hindustan Motors was the first Indian Car Company to start production In India in 1942. Since then, it has become a vast company, manufacturing cars like the sturdy Ambassador, the elegant Contessa, and in collaboration with Mitsubishi of Japan now manufactures the new Mitsubishi Lancer.
It started production of the Landmaster in 1954, and in 1957 began the production of the Ambassador. Later tie-ups with General Motors Corporation of USA, Vauxhall Motors, UK, Marion Power Shovel Co, USA led to new products being launched. In 1963 commenced the production of the Ambassador Mark 2. Later versions and more forays in related vehicle segments followed.
At present, it is a one billion turnover company manufacturing Passenger Cars, Utility Vehicles, Power Products and Earthmoving Equipment. The manufacturing facilities of the company are spread across India: Uttarpara in West Bengal, Pithampur in Madhya Pradesh, Thiruvallur and Hosur in Tamil Nadu, and Pondicherry. The latest model, Mitsubishi Lancer, is manufactured in their state - of - the - art manufacturing facility at Thiruvallur, Tamil Nadu.
Increasing rivalry and dropping sales figures made the company look out for newer models, and hence the new Ambassador Nova was brought out in 1990, and in 1993 was launched the Ambassador 1800 ISZ.
Ambassador was the first car to be manufactured in India and has been plying on Indian roads since 1948. Its dependability, spaciousness and comfort factor have made it the most preferred car for generations of Indians.
With the passage of time Ambassador has upgraded itself and now comes loaded with latest technological features. Its MPFI engine with 16-bit ECU ensures easy cold start. Improved suspension, smoother gears, ergonomically designed plush seats, wider tyres, power steering and ample boot space add to driving pleasure.
