Mahindra Furio line of trucks launched, enters ICV segment

Mahindra Furio is the culmination of focused efforts from more than 500 Mahindra engineers, 180 suppliers and an investment of Rs. 600 crores. The trucks will be made in the company’s facility in Chakan near Pune while the designing duties have been carried by Pininfarina and the trucks will offer safe, ergonomic and comfortable cabins.

At the heart of these trucks will be the MDI Tech engine, with Fuel Smart technology. The engine promises to deliver higher fuel efficiency while providing more power and requiring minimum maintenance. The company claims to have thoroughly tested these trucks on Indian terrain with over 17 lakh kilometers covered in total.

Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Pawan Goenka, Managing Director, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. noted, “The unveiling of the new Furio range of ICV trucks is a defining moment for our Truck and Bus business as we are set to enter a new orbit and become a full range commercial vehicle player. With Pininfarina inspired design, the Furio is set to be a game changer for us and perhaps for the industry, giving the new truck one of the safest, most ergonomic and comfortable cabins that will set new standards. I am confident that just like the Blazo HCV Series, the Furio range of ICVs will also set new benchmarks for performance, earnings and deliver better value to customers.”

According to Vinod Sahay, CEO, Mahindra Truck and Bus and Construction EquipmentDivisions, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd., “Indian ICV customers have been longing for a truck which can deliver higher earnings, lower operating costs, better safety, improved ergonomics,a comfortable ride and most importantly a world-class ownership experience, as an ideal package. Our new FURIO range is built precisely around these elements and we are confident that it will soon be a preferred choice for ICV customers.”
