Mumbai,
January 29, 2019: Mahindra’s Truck and Bus Division
(MTB), a part of the USD 20.7 billion Mahindra Group, today announced the
commercial launch of the FURIO, its brand-new range of Intermediate Commercial
Vehicles (ICVs) with an unprecedented guarantee of More Profit or Truck Back.
FURIO
marks the company’s entry into the ICV segment and is set to make Mahindra a
full range commercial vehicle player. To be available across India from today, FURIO
prices start at Rs 17.45 lacs for the FURIO12 19ft HSD
variant and Rs.18.10 lacs for the FURIO14 19ft HSD variant (ex-showroom Pune).
Mahindra
FURIO is the culmination of focused efforts over the past 4 years from more
than 500 Mahindra engineers and 180 suppliers with an investment of Rs. 600
crores. It is notable that earlier MTB had introduced its BLAZO range of Heavy
Commercial Vehicles with the hugely successful and popular ‘Mileage Guarantee’,
which subsequently helped double its market share.
Speaking
on the occasion, Dr. Pawan Goenka, Managing Director, Mahindra &
Mahindra Ltd said, “The launch of the new FURIO range of ICV trucks with an
unprecedented customer value proposition of “Get More Profit or Give the Truck
Back”, is a unique and pioneering promise, which reflects our serious commitment
to the segment and confidence in our product. It is also an outcome of substantial
investments in the CV business. Today we are probably the first and possibly
the only CV brand in the world to have an end-to-end presence from 3 wheelers
to 49 T truck. With Pininfarina design, the FURIO is set to be a game changer
for us and perhaps for the industry, giving the new truck one of the safest,
most ergonomic and comfortable cabins that will set new standards.”
Speaking at the launch
of the ICV range, Rajan Wadhera, President, Automotive Sector, Mahindra
& Mahindra Ltd., said, “The ICV category is highly competitive making
the entry of a new player seem difficult. However we are confident of making
our mark with an unprecedented Customer Value Proposition, focusing on
maximizing earnings and ensuring the peace of mind of our customers. Our strong
technological acumen and ability to gather and process customer insights have
helped us devise category best products. With the launch of the Mahindra FURIO,
with guaranteed higher profit, I am confident that the ICV segment will never
be the same again.”
According
to, Vinod Sahay, CEO, Mahindra Truck and Bus and Construction Equipment
Divisions, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd., “Mahindra FURIO is designed around
the unaddressed needs of ICV customers. They have been longing for a truck that
can deliver higher earnings, lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), the highest
warranty, lowest maintenance and yet have world class, no-compromise safety and
comfort, all in one truck. Mahindra FURIO, with its unmatched package of
customer value propositions and a very competitive initial price offer, is precisely
that. We are confident enough to guarantee higher profits or take the truck
back and that in itself is a defining moment for the industry”
FURIO not
only offers best-in-class mileage, the highest Payload, lowest TCO with rugged
aggregates but also ensures best-in-class Safety and Comfort in a segment which
has the maximum high-speed applications among all CV segments in India. It also comes with the first time ever 5
years/ 5 lakhs kms free maintenance guarantee (free AMC) and 5 years / 5 lakhs
km transferrable warranty.
