Mahindra PIK-UP/ UTILITI

The Mahindra Single Cab and the Mahindra Double Cab never found an overseas market. The XD3P Diesel engine and BA10 Gearbox combination was not fuel efficient enough for the Indian commercial vehicle market.

So Mahindra decided take a gamble by fitting the fuel efficient MDI3000 Diesel engine and the easy to maintain 4-speed gear box.
