After showcasing their high performance truck lineup at the Auto Expo, Mahindra Navistar have rolled out their first truck, the MN 25, from their Chakan plant near Pune. The MN 25 is priced at 14.99 Lakhs (ex showroom Pune). Though the pricing is on the premium side compared to the competition, Mahindra has justified it in the features it offers along with superior performance.
“In line with our philosophy of offering value-for-money proposition to our customers, the MN25 is very competitively priced. The high performance MN25 is one of the most powerful, fuel-efficient, rugged and comfortable 25-tonner to be launched in India. Designed and developed in India with technological assistance of Navistar, who have over 175 years of trucking experience, MN25 comes with a world-class cabin which is spacious and ergonomically designed to suit Indian drivers for continuous long hauls. It’s powered by the world-renowned MAXXFORCE® engine which is highly fuel efficient and powerful. So you see we are offering a fantastic truck at a very attractive price.” Mr. Rakesh Kalra, Managing Director, Mahindra Navistar Automotives Ltd
Mahindra is focusing on setting up an extensive sales and service network throughout the country and will set up a 24×7, multi-lingual call centre which is manned by trained truck experts to provide on-road support to customers, just in case the need arises. Mahindra Navistar JV will manufacture the entire spectrum of commercial vehicles (including Trucks and Buses) from 4.5 tonne GVW to 49 tonne GVW at its Chakan Plant.
