Mahindra & Mahindra’s Truck & Bus Division on Friday announced several new initiatives to reduce the total cost of ownership of its trucks and buses.
These initiatives include a six-year/six lakh km warranty on Mahindra Blazo. The company said it has also increased oil change intervals leading to significant saving of 9 per cent per annum for transporters.
“The above package of benefits is aimed at further increasing the customer confidence in Mahindra Blazo. This provides peace-of-mind for vehicle operation up to the end of the sixth year, thereby setting a new standard in the Indian trucking industry,” M&M said in a statement.
Vinod Sahay, Chief Executive Officer – Mahindra Truck and Bus Division, said: “Today, as we roll out a never-before package of customer benefits, we are confident of significantly bringing down the cost of ownership and operation thereby, ensuring that our trucks are far more affordable.
“For the transporter, this directly translates into better earnings due to savings of up to 20 per cent in servicing cost per annum for every Mahindra Blazo truck as well as a promise of hassle free ownership experience. We are confident that transporters will notice our industry first game-changing benefits and switch to Mahindra Blazo as their preferred brand of choice, to get the best value for money.”
The Mahindra Truck and Bus Division is a wholly owned subsidiary and part of the $19-billion Mahindra Group that provides an entire line of integrated trucking solutions.
