Tata from Phoenix

On the eve of the CV Show, Phoenix Venture Holdings (PVH), owner of MG Rover Group, has announced it is to distribute Tata Engineering's Safari off-roader and Loadbeta pick-up trucks in the UK and Irish markets.

Tata utility vehicles have established a niche presence in the market, based on their value for money. Phoenix said upgraded versions with contemporary features will further enhance the value proposition.

The vehicles will be distributed through a selection of both MG Rover and Tata dealerships within the next few months.
