Mahindra on a tech blitz

Mahindra will take a huge technological leap with the launch of the hybrid Bolero in a few months. The mild hybrid model will use a start-stop system with a heavy duty belt for the high-life starter.

It will switch the Bolero off when it comes to a halt and start it as you want to get moving again. This will help the off-roader to improve efficiency. Mahindra’s other big seller, the Scorpio, will be coming with an automatic gearbox soon. The big news is that this box is a thoroughly modern unit with six speeds. The gearbox features full electronic control for all gears, the possibility of using the torque converter with a lock up clutch as well as tiptronic controls for a manual gearbox feel. The gearbox will feature a ‘filled for life’ casing that will never need more oil and the ability to handle 34.7kgm of torque. This box is likely to further increase the appeal of the Scorpio.
