Mahindra Trucks Coming To The US
Mahindra Trucks Coming To The US
Good Morning Mahindra Truck Fans,
Congratulations. You are part of over 30,000 signed up to be the first to experience the hardworking Mahindra trucks.
I know you are wondering when you will have the opportunity to get behind the wheel of one of these amazing, authentic, robust, fuel-efficient trucks at a Mahindra dealer near you. While I cannot give you a firm answer on timing, I can tell you in my estimation, trucks will arrive in the spring of 2011.
Mahindra has applied for and received their EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) certificate, which means the vehicles have passed emission requirements. They also filed with (NHTSA) National Highway Safety Administration, which handles US standards for safety.
With these hurdles completed, it would seem production is imminent, but other factors may hinder the US launch. India’s car sales are on a dramatic trajectory upward. The sales pace combined with an industry wide parts shortage is impacting home market sales, which will have an affect on the United States introduction.
In closing, I know each of you anxiously await the arrival of the Mahindra trucks, and I am confident that you will see a launch announcement in the next few months.

Its too bad Indian material quality is crap. If Ford would do the same with the Ranger or Chevy reintroduce the S10 (or Luv) they would sell the hell out of them.

I remember the Chevy Luv/Isuzu Pup diesels.Those things were slow as hell,but got like 40mpg.The Mahindra trucks passed the safety tests,so they can't be all bad.

That only means they're "safe" for occupants, doesn't mean they are built with quality. The Smart ForTwo passed all the safety tests as well and its nothing more than a throwaway car in Europe.
