Mahindra and Mahindra dominates the SUV segment in the passenger vehicle division in India. The company is well-established in this segment with its popular models like Bolero, Scorpio and Xylo. At the upcoming Delhi Auto Expo 2010, Mahindra and Mahindra will showcase its eco-footprints at the event. M&M’s new research and development technologies have been preparing its models for cleaner and greener future.

Mahindra’s range of drivable SUV hybrids and biofuel vehicles are well suited for the dense traffic conditions and driving habits of our customers,” noted Vice-Chairman and Managing Director, Mr. Anand Mahindra.

The company is concentrating more on its commercial vehicles this time apart from its passenger vehicle division. A key model expected from the commercial segment is the Mahindra Navistar, a heavy truck.
