Mumbai — The Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025 became a focal point of automotive innovation as Tata Motors unveiled the OMEGARC Cut Section display, showcasing the cutting-edge Optimal Modular Efficient Global Advanced (OMEGARC) architecture. Built on a legacy derived from Land Rover’s globally revered SUV platform, OMEGARC underpins Tata’s flagship SUVs, the Safari and Harrier, which are redefining safety standards in India.
India’s Safest SUVs: A Benchmark in Safety
Both the Tata Safari and Harrier, built on the OMEGARC platform, proudly hold 5-star GNCAP and BNCAP safety ratings. These SUVs boast an exceptional adult safety score of 33.05 out of 34.00 and a child safety score of 45.00 out of 49.00, underscoring their commitment to passenger safety. In 2024, both models were awarded the prestigious Safer Choice award, recognizing their provision of advanced safety features exceeding standard protocols.
Engineering Excellence: Safety Beyond the Basics
The OMEGARC platform is meticulously engineered for optimal crash energy management. Featuring front and rear crumple zones and a robust body structure crafted with high-strength steel, it offers unparalleled protection. Safety is further enhanced with a comprehensive seven-airbag system that includes:
- Front Airbags: Protecting driver and co-driver in frontal collisions.
- Side Airbags: Shielding occupants’ thorax and abdomen during side impacts.
- Curtain Airbags: Ensuring effective head protection for outboard passengers.
- Driver Knee Airbag: Positioned to safeguard the driver’s lower limbs.
Revolutionary Technology: ADAS and Beyond
Both SUVs are equipped with advanced radar and camera systems that form the backbone of the Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS). With Level 2 capabilities, ADAS empowers safer driving through features such as:
- Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go
- Autonomous Emergency Braking (including pedestrian and cyclist detection)
- Lane Keep Assist and Lane Centering
- Rear Collision Warning and Cross-Traffic Alert
ADAS doesn’t just prevent accidents—it enhances the driving experience with conveniences like a 360° camera, blind-spot detection, and high-beam assist.
Safety Features Galore: Over 70 Innovations
Tata Motors has packed the Safari and Harrier with over 70 safety features, including:
- Active Safety: Electronic Parking Brake, 360° Surround View Camera, and advanced ESP functionalities like Roll Over Mitigation and Brake Disc Wiping.
- Passive Safety: Anti-submarining seats, ISOFIX child seat anchors, and 3-point ELR seatbelts with reminders for all passengers.
- Emergency Support: Automatic fuel cut-off, door unlocking during crashes, and E-Call/B-Call services for emergency assistance.
OMEGARC: A Platform for Safer, Smarter Mobility
The OMEGARC Cut Section at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025 gave attendees a firsthand look at the platform’s robust design and innovative safety systems. With its focus on combining cutting-edge technology and uncompromising safety, the OMEGARC platform represents a leap forward in automotive engineering, cementing Tata Motors’ position as a leader in global safety standards.
As the Safari and Harrier continue to set benchmarks, Tata Motors’ commitment to creating vehicles that prioritize safety and performance underscores a vision for a smarter, safer future on Indian roads and beyond.
