Tips for Better Maintenance of Your Truck and Tipper

Given technological advancements along with upgrading to BS6 norms, the cost of purchasing a latest-gen truck today easily runs into many lakhs of rupees. For fleet owners the investment is huge.

Topping the purchase cost is the obvious cost of operating and maintaining your trucks and tippers. In case of a breakdown in one or more trucks, it can impact task completion and also hurt earnings and profits.

This checklist of preventive maintenance tips can go a long way to improve efficiency, performance and overall roadworthiness and life of your BS6 Trucks and Tippers. 

      Inspect and Rotate Tyres

Running a truck with tyres in poor condition and worn out treads not only puts a strain on the trucks’ engine, it can be hazardous. It is important to inspect your truck’s tyres periodically. Look for signs of tyre wear and tear. Periodic rotation of the tyres also helps to maintain uniform tyre tread thereby increasing life of the tyres.

      Check Tyre Pressure

Keeping the truck tyres inflated correctly as per the manufacturer recommended tyre pressure can protect it from damage caused by uneven usage. Maintaining the right pressure can increase tyre life and improve the truck’s fuel efficiency. Generally, it is advisable to get tyre pressure checked weekly. 

      Change Oils and Fluids

Engine oil, Coolant, Brake fluid and power steering fluid allow proper lubrication of these critical parts of the truck for smooth functioning and to deliver optimal performance. Check that there is no oil or fluid leakage. The fluids should be maintained at the recommended level and changed at timely intervals as stated in the owner manual.

Mahindra BS6 range of trucks and tippers with unchanged oil drain intervals helps to lower the maintenance costs.

      Replace Battery on Time

Maintaining proper battery health is critical because a dirty, old and rundown battery might leave your truck stranded during a trip. Keep the battery clean from dust and grime at all times. And remember to replace the battery approximately every four years.  

      Regular Parts Inspection and Replacement

Replacing truck components can be time-consuming in case of non-availability of spares and expensive too. Therefore better maintenance means taking preventive measures. Keep a regular check of all mechanical, electrical and electronic parts of the truck. Make sure they are in good condition and replace them as and when required.

The CRDe Engine that drives the new Mahindra BLAZO

The heavy commercial vehicle industry today has seen a gradual growth tangent upwards in terms of technology and services, most of them catering to the need-of-the-hour crisis. While the heavy commercial vehicle industry is battling with the daily nuances of the heavy duty truck industry, mostly concentrating either on fuel efficiency or engine performance, Mahindra Truck and Bus has come up with a path-breaking innovation accommodating both these factors in their all new heavy vehicle, the Mahindra BLAZO!

MTBD clearly stands out as a clear winner among the rest after having contained the CRDe technology and FuelSmart technology in their truck. 

Technology that drives performance:

Technology gives voice to the mute! Mahindra has always believed in Rise, a mantra that justifies its being. Hence making high end technology available to common people, is an inherent passion, marking a beginning of better life and livelihood for all! 

 

The CRDe Engine

The new Mahindra BLAZO introduce an electronically controlled diesel fuel injection engine called the CRDe. In the CRDe, engine, ECU (Electronic Control Unit) controls the fuel usage. Engine ECU like our brain is completely informed, thanks to its sensors like the speed sensor, rail pressure sensor, coolant temperature sensor, oil pressure sensor, accelerator pedal sensor, which are connected to the engine.

The high pressure pump pressurizes the diesel that gets accumulated in the common rail. Fuel injectors enable the fuel to be sprayed on the cylinders and the time taken by the injector to open the valve determines the amount of fuel to be used by the engine. 

The FuelSmart Technology

Vehicles are driven in different types of terrains with different amount of load at all times. Based on this need Mahindra has incorporated a feature by which a driver can increase/decrease the engine power so as to get maximum fuel efficiency.

There are three switches on the dashboard with three different modes – Light, Heavy and Turbo.  The Light mode can be used when BLAZO is being driven on flat terrain with no load in the vehicle. This utilizes less power and hence lesser torque. Heavy mode can be used when there is more than average load in the vehicle. Instead of using the lower gear for driving, the driver can just turn on the Heavy mode which would give better pick up. This would achieve more trips and more profit. If the vehicle has maximum load and is being driven in the hilly region or on a bumpy road the Turbo mode can be used. If the vehicle is driven in the Turbo mode for more than 30 minutes, a beep sound would be heard three times indicating that a switch to a different mode needs to be made based on changing road conditions.

BLAZO 25 (25 ton trucks), BLAZO 31 (31 ton trucks) and BLAZO 40 (40 ton trucks) have all the three modes, whereas BLAZO 35 (35 ton trucks), BLAZO 37 (37 ton trucks) and BLAZO 49 (49 ton trucks) have two modes (light and heavy).

Conclusion

Apart from the CRDe engine and FuelSmart technology, the Mahindra BLAZO also has an RPM display, fuel gauge and temperature gauge; the LCD screen displays hat also show trips per km, per km fuel consumption, average speed and battery voltage. The LCD dashboard also alerts about service reminders for the vehicle. Thus, multiple factors work in congruence to make BLAZO one of the best heavy vehicles anybody would want.

BLAZO gives the best experience to its customers considering the road, load and driving conditions, because as June Martin rightly asserts, everything starts with the customer. 

Ajay Devgn and BLAZO, a fiery combination transforming the Indian trucking Industry

While its new superior mPOWER FuelSmart technology, a topic of thesis in itself. BLAZO also boasts of a dashing new dapper look, the turquoise blue colour variant topping the list.  

The Mahindra BLAZO Series

The highlight of ‘FuelSmart technology' is the introduction of the CRDe motor combined with the all new Multi-drive mode which is  generally found in passenger cars which assists them to drive into the city, off-roads and makes it easier to maneuver and speed up on the highway. BLAZO too has incorporated similar technology, taking into consideration driver, fleet owner and vehicle’s need.

Given the uber rugged yet suave personality that the brand radiates, BLAZO has picked the dashing, macho, and the very eminent Bollywood star, Ajay Devgn to be the brand ambassador of the all new Blazo campaign. Here is the Official Launch Video of BLAZO starring Ajay Devgn.

FuelSmart - an automotive technology

Mahindra presents FuelSmart technology, first of its kind in Indian transport. To give the users the most important features that they could ask for in a truck that is mileage and power. Hence, Mahindra created FuelSmart technology.

FuelSmart technology harnesses the benefits of the CRDe engine that in turn provides better mileage at the touch of a switch. The FuelSmart technology comes in three modes – Turbo, Heavy and Light which of course can be changed by the driver as per street conditions. A driver can now easily turn on Heavy mode when carrying full loads and switch to Light when returning back unloaded. He can also use Turbo mode when transporting heavier loads based on his application, over steep inclines. Each mode provides maximum efficiency for optimal performance.

Mahindra BLAZO guarantee

On this one-stop solution Mr. Rajan Wadhera, President & Chief Executive - Truck & Power Train & Head – Mahindra Research Valley, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd, said, “In commercial vehicles there is a challenge to provide a single solution of engine and vehicle power-terrain configuration to multiple applications and variants. The FuelSmart Technology with its multi-mode switch technology will help drivers into choosing correct mode based on load and road condition, thereby leading to high efficiency”.

The confidence and sincerity that the brand exudes converges into a strong guarantee that the new BLAZO series offers. Mahindra Truck & Bus Division affirms that if the new series of truck do not provide better fuel efficiency than the old existing trucks then the owner can return the truck back. This stance itself explains BLAZO is par excellence.
