Mahindra and Mahindra, one of India’s largest car manufacturers, has launched new variants of its popular model, Mahindra Bolero and Scorpio, in India. Dr. Pawan Goenka, President, Automotive Sector, Mahindra and Mahindra Limited, unveiled the new variants of its popular passenger cars in India, in a function in Delhi. The ceremony was presided by Mr. Keshub Mahindra, Chairman, Mahindra Group.
The new variants Scorpio M2DI and Bolero SLX BS3 possess the innovative FuelSmart System with Micro Hybrid technology. Mahindra became the first car maker in India to introduce such a technology in India that has been developed by the Mahindra Research and Development team with the support of M/S Bosch. This technology enables Scorpio and Bolero to switch off automatically in idle conditions like traffic signals, neutral gear, etc. and start the engine seamlessly once again when the driver depresses the clutch to move forward.
“This pioneering technology is very relevant to India. It was specially created keeping in mind the heavy traffic congestion drivers have to face on our roads today. An incremental cost of only Rs. 3800 makes the highly advantageous Mahindra FuelSmart System quite affordable. Therefore, it can be used across a large number of vehicles and make a significant difference to energy consumption,” said Dr. Pawan Goenka.
