Mahindra Truck and Bus
Truck owners struggle to achieve
profitability due to the following reasons:
- Diesel
prices constantly rising, and
- Varying
service conditions—heavy loads over flat roads, heavy loads over steep
inclines, and light/zero loads.
How To Tackle The
Problem
Price rise is countered by making engines
more and more efficient, while varying service conditions call for the ability
to switch three different engines in and out of the same truck on the fly!
Mahindra To The
Rescue
Guess what? Both challenges have been
addressed by Mahindra’s range of specially designed heavy commercial vehicles
(HCVs), which use CRDe technology with electronically controlled diesel fuel
injection. The combination of fuel economy and versatility in handling service
conditions ensures profitability.
How CRDe Works
CRDe has an electronic control unit as a
“brain”, which gets information about RPM, rail pressure, coolant temperature,
oil pressure, and accelerator pedal from sensors. The engine’s mPOWER FuelSmart
multi-mode switch reconfigures the engine for service conditions on the fly,
adding life and performance to it.
Mahindra's 7.2 L FuelSmart engine has
immense reserve capacity and is backed by 10 years of CRDe expertise. It
delivers better mileage without the loss of power, pickup, or pulling
ability—all with cleaner emissions, to keep you running for years.
