The Hindu Business Line : Scorpio drives into Kenya

Mahindra & Mahindra has launched the new Scorpio in Kenya as part of a series of international launches. The company has appointed a Kenyan company - Oriel Ltd to distribute the vehicle in the country. The new Scorpio SUV is being launched in Kenya with 40 changes and improvements.

Oriel, part of the long established Ecta Group in Kenya, will start by launching M&M's Scorpio, a 2.6-litre turbo diesel SUV. This flagship model will be swiftly followed by M&M's Bolero, a one-tonne pick-up.

The company has a strong presence in the US, China, Malaysia, West Asia, Australia, Latin America and West Asia, as well as increasingly in Africa. Over the next couple of years it plans to get about 20 per cent of its volumes from global ventures. Mahindra is looking to consolidate operations in East Africa.

Mahindra's subsidiary in South Africa has sold over 3,000 vehicles and sales is expected to cross 5,000 vehicles this year.
