Mahindra launches its new LCV (Light Commercial Vehicle) platform, Maxximo, today at the 2010 India Auto Expo in New Delhi. The Maxximo will be a direct competitor to the Tata Ace. It is powered by a 2-cylinder Mahindra CRDe diesel engine with a displacement of 0.9 liter (900cc). Mahindra claims that the engine is ‘new’. It is unclear (but likely) that this 2-cylinder engine shares the same architecture as the 4-cylinder CRDe diesels Mahindra uses in the Pik-Up or TR20/TR40 models.
The 1 ton Maxximo will be a big brother to the 1/2 ton Mahindra Gio launched in 2009. The Mahindra Maxximo and the Tata Ace will go head to head in India where the Ace (launched in 2005) owns 90% of the LCV market.
MahindraPlanet is fascinated with these heavy duty little ‘Kei trucks’ for use as mini off-roaders and utility vehicles. We’ll continue to cover them along with other Mahindra vehicles.

seems to be a good option instead of something like a too much heavier ford ranger... mahindra should offer it in brazil... 1-ton is the minimum payload required by brazilian laws for a 2wd vehicle to run on diesel...
Some times we ignore the promotion freebies that come with the motor oil that we buy.. Recently i bought a Castrol promotion pack for car but wasn't informed by the dealer that the scratch card offer to enter the lucky draw to go to South Africa World cup games and the dealer has assured gifts that we can collect at the time of purchase. Make sure you ask your service dealers for the contest details if you buy one in the near future and collect your assured gift :)
