MG
(Morris Garages) Motor India has commenced the commercial production of the
much-awaited Hector Plus. Manufactured at its Halol plant, the Hector Plus was
first showcased at Auto Expo 2020 and will go on sale in July 2020.
Hector
Plus differentiates itself from the first internet car in India, Hector, with
captain seats in the middle row, thereby offering best-in-class comfort to the
passengers. A third row has also been added to suit the family needs. This SUV now
comes with a premium new look including all-new headlamps, front grille, front
and rear bumpers, new rear tail light design, and revised skid plates.
MG’s
Halol plant operates conforming to world-class manufacturing standards following
production parameters beyond the current norm, with the vehicles undergoing
various stringent quality tests. Further underlining its commitment to create
products specifically for India, the carmaker had also set up a captive vendor
park at its plant.
The
plant in Gujarat deploys advanced robotic spot welding, robotic roller hemming,
and robotic brazing facilities to achieve superior weld quality and dimensional
consistency. The paint shop uses robotic application at all stages of coating
to achieve superior paint finish quality and colour harmony. The new assembly
line operates with the help of advanced Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV) for
various assembly processes. A first in the industry, touchscreen pads are also
available at each assembly work station, enabling MG employees to connect and
alert the system centrally to avoid errors, following the heritage brand’s
“first time right build” philosophy.
MG
Hector Plus also comes integrated with the revolutionary Over the Air (OTA)
technology, allowing customers to update software/firmware, feature themes, and
infotainment content seamlessly.
