The Veero marks a significant advancement in commercial vehicle chassis design. It spotlights chassis innovations and robust underpinnings. Veejay Nakra, President of Automotive Division at Mahindra & Mahindra, highlighted the critical aspects of the platform, emphasising its rugged construction, the materials utilised in the built, and the advanced technology that can deliver many offsprings.

The foundation

A vehicle’s chassis forms the very foundation upon which every other component is built. In commercial vehicles, where demands on durability and load-bearing are significantly higher than in passenger vehicles, a robust chassis is crucial. The Mahindra Veero with the first offspring as the Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV) in the under 3.5-tonne segment has got it going for itself. M&M has opted for a chassis made of High-Strength Steel (HSS), with 62 per cent HSS compared to the low grade materials often used by competitors in this segment. This makes the Veero’s frame exceptionally resilient, capable of withstanding both high payloads and the daily stresses encountered on rough and uneven terrain.
