Indian automaker Mahindra bringing new diesels to US
November 20, 2009
One of India's largest automakers, Mahindra GV, is preparing to launch a two-model pick-up line in the U.S. in the first quarter of 2010. Alpharetta, Ga.'s Global Vehicles USA, the exclusive importer and distributor for Mahindra, said it has between 300 and 400 retail outlets on-board to sell the TR20 and TR40 trucks. Both models are four-wheel drives with four-cylinder common rail diesel engines. "We've seen a positive trend in the diesel market, despite slight setbacks because of price," said Mike Geylin of Global Vehicles. The two-vehicle line features six-speed automatic transmissions and fuel economy greater than 30 miles per gallon as the first Indian-made motor vehicles for sale in the U.S.
