New Delhi. It is an Indian company that manufactures trucks and pickups as well as many types of farm equipment. This company is also the world’s largest tractor manufacturer. Tractors and SUVs of this company are not only sold in India but today they are in demand in many markets around the world. This company is ahead of Tata Motors in terms of selling its SUVs outside the country. The reason for the company’s popularity all over the world is its self-developed engines, which today compete with the vehicles of foreign companies due to their efficiency and performance.
Yes, we are talking about Mahindra & Mahindra, which is not only very popular in the Indian automobile market due to its powerful SUVs, but its engines are also dominant in many countries of the world today. The 2.2-litre mHawk diesel engine developed at Mahindra’s research center has today set a new example in the SUV segment. This engine not only gives a new dimension to the performance of Mahindra’s popular SUVs Scorpio and Thar, but is also posing a big challenge for other companies in the automobile sector. Let us know why foreign companies are afraid of this engine.
The engine was launched with Scorpio
Mahindra first introduced the 2.2 liter mHawk diesel engine with the Scorpio in 2002 to boost its falling SUV sales. mHawk engine technology was developed by Mahindra in collaboration with AVL of Austria. This engine has been famous for its excellent performance and durability since its inception. Today, Mahindra is using this engine in many of its major SUV models, due to which the company has been able to create a strong position in the Indian automobile industry.
No one in conflict with mHawk engine
Today Mahindra is using the 2.2 liter mHawk diesel engine in Scorpio Classic, Scorpio-N, XUV700 and Thar. The most special thing about this engine is its ability to generate power. This engine generates power of 130-140 bhp and torque of up to 320 Nm, which makes it capable in all conditions, from rough roads to highway driving. The low-end torque capability of the mHawk engine helps in smooth driving even on challenging roads and heavy traffic. With modern turbocharging technology, this engine not only delivers more power but also delivers best-in-class fuel efficiency in its segment. The refinement of this engine has been specially designed as per the needs of the Indian market, resulting in less noise inside the vehicle and better driving experience.
Impact on competing companies
Mahindra’s mHawk engine has presented new challenges to many major automobile brands like Tata, Hyundai, Maruti Suzuki and Ford. While SUVs like Tata Motors’ Nexon and Hyundai’s Creta are already popular, Mahindra’s Scorpio and Thar are gaining momentum due to their powerful engines and off-roading capabilities.
Mahindra’s mHawk engine is not only an example of technological advancement, but it is also a game-changer in the Indian automobile industry. This engine gives Mahindra a significant edge over other brands and sets new benchmarks in the industry. As the competition is increasing, the mHawk engine has made it clear that Mahindra has a very strong place in the Indian SUV segment, and it will create new challenges for other brands in the times to come.
