Fighting to overcome the market perception that its HGVs were dandy and powerful, but not as fuelefficient, Mahindra Truck and Bus Division (MTBD) has announced that its Blazo HGV range is the market leader in terms of mileage within the trucking industry. It has also announced that its Furio ICV Cin the ]2and 14-tonne segment) has emerged as the number four-player in a short span of seven months. Using Its 7.2-litre engine that oowers the Blazo HGV range to a distinct advantage in its journey to BSVI, MTBD has claimed to have emerged as the numberthree player in the haulage segment Cmultiaxle vehicle segment and tractor-trailer segment combined). The dandy build of its HGVs providing it with an advantage of meeting the new axle norms with ease, the CV maker is eyeing the number-three position in tippers. Keen to offer a simplified BSVI experience to its customers in the wake of the challenges they are already facing, the company, according to Rajan Wadhera, President - Auto Sector, Mahindra & Mahindra, has had the distinct cost advantage from packing technology in its CVs before the regulations could dictate.
