Mahindra Truck and Bus (MTB) announced the launch of its BS-VI emission norms-compliant range, which includes the Blazo X range of HCVs, Furio range of ICVs and LCVs and Cruzio range of buses. This BS-VI range has been launched with the tried and tested mPower™ and MDI Tech™ engines with FuelSmart™ technology and robust aggregates, retaining over 90% of the parts of the erstwhile BS-IV vehicles. This will help customers with a hassle-free switch to the new BS-VI era.
Vinod Sahay, CEO, Mahindra Truck and Bus and Construction Equipment Divisions, Mahindra and Mahindra Ltd., elaborated: “Our engine remains the same, gearbox remains the same, rear axle remains the same and our frame and cabin remains the same.”
“This gives familiarity to a CV customer. The only change has been in the after-treatment system where unlike BS-IV, where it was simple SCR, here it is SCR, DOC, DPF and EGR,” he added. To meet BS-VI norms, MBT has used CRDe engines with the incorporation of world-class technologies. This coupled with the company’s unparalleled service and spares availability guarantees that its customers will now get higher profits and peace of mind in the BS-VI era too. To make things even better and to provide even higher control to the customers over their vehicles and businesses, MTB has introduced the revolutionary Mahindra iMAXX™ telematics technology in the entire BS-VI range.
This is an intelligent fleet telematics solution enabled with IOT, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) capabilities that can maximise returns for its customers. The only vehicle that has been new along with the platform is the Cruzio bus.
Speaking about the new developments, Sahay added: “The launch of the new Cruzio bus range marks a defining moment for our truck and bus business as we have taken our new ICV bus platform to the next level of customer experience. Aimed at the employee transport, maxi cab and school bus segments, Cruzio is all set to be a game-changer.”
“It is one of the safest, most ergonomically designed and comfortable bus range that is expected to set new standards in the industry,” he further said. “Cruzio demonstrates Mahindra and Mahindra’s ability to bring the best to Indian customers and was developed based on meticulously gathered consumer insights. Bus operators in this segment are clearly looking for a solution that can balance end-user benefits, as well as help them optimise costs. The company is confident that similar to Blazo X HCV and Furio ICV range, the Cruzio LPO bus range will also set new benchmarks for performance, earnings and deliver a best-in-class value proposition to customers,” a press release stated.
