Mahindra Works In Synergy With Group Co. For Powertrain Development

Mahindra Trucks and Buses Ltd. is working with many group companies like Mahindra Research Valley (MRV) for new developments in the areas of engine, clutch, transmission, after-treatment, CNG and other alternate fuel modes. “We have a lot of synergies playing out in the group. The challenge is how do we leverage these synergies. As a Group we are getting better. We are looking at synergies that are beneficial for both,” Venkat Srinivas, Vice President and Head, Engineering and Product Development, Mahindra Trucks and Buses Ltd., told Auto Components India.

“We carry out application at the Pune centre. MRV developed DigiSense in association with Bosch and Tech Mahindra. The speed of development at Tech Mahindra is such that we have to understand it to leverage it. We are going to have technology days on our premises where they will tell us about relevant technology. This will help us to identify quickly the levels at which we can associate. We have dealt with our supplier base to ensure that the airless SCR system is price competitive. The ‘fuelsmart’ technology on trucks helped us understand how customers use their CVs, HGVs in particular, in various road loads and applications. We are also very keen to understand what and how technologies can be relevant,” he said.
