A highlight of the 10th India Auto Expo was Mahindra & Mahindra’s technology display, focused on its commitment to eco friendly, highly safe personal mobility. Mahindra vehicles are powered by these and other technologies that are sold in diverse markets across the world.
“A commitment to environmental sustainability and frugal technological innovation lies at the very heart of Mahindra’s business strategy and culture,” noted Mr. Anand Mahindra, Vice-Chairman & Managing Director, Mahindra Group K-EXPO FRANCE.
Clean Diesel
Mahindra’s commitment to current and future environmental needs is showcased in the 2.2 liter, 16-valve DOHC, 4-cylinder mHawk common rail clean diesel engine. The mHawk minimizes emissions, meets the demanding Euro 5 and T2Bin5 Emission standards and delivers up to 320 N-m (236 pound-feet) of torque at 103 kW (140hp) — enough to tow up to 2250 kg (5,000lbs) in weight.
With this engine powering its compact pick-ups and SUVs, Mahindra delivers an optimal combination of eco-friendliness, superior road handling and hauling, and safety and comfort features to its customers.
Emission & Safety regulations
Mahindra vehicles are designed to meet the most stringent emission and safety regulations of the markets where it sells its vehicles. In its most advanced form, they use urea with SCR technology, which reduces NOx by 90 %, and DPF (diesel particulate Filter), which decreases harmful particulates. This technology requires ultra low sulfur diesel.
Mahindra vehicles are designed with features such as dynamic electronic stability control (ESC), traction control system (TCS) and intelligent 2-stage airbags. These features are available in high-end versions.
Reliability
Mahindra has always been committed to the highest quality. It is proud of its record of manufacturing, and its goal of near-zero new product defects.
