Mahindra & Mahindra launched the path-breaking FuelSmart system for Scorpio & Bolero in the domestic market. The Mahindra FuelSmart system with Micro-Hybrid technology is developed by the Mahindra Research & Development team with the support of M/S BOSCH. This technology enables the SUV’s engine to switch off automatically at a traffic light when idle and in neutral gear and the engine starts seamlessly once the driver depresses the clutch before moving forward. The system is based on the simple principle of not burning fuel when it is not required.
Commenting to the press Mr. Murli Deora, Honourable Union Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas, said that he was honoured and delighted to be a part of the historic & pioneering launch. Innovative technologies like the Mahindra FuelSmart system with Micro Hybrid technology will help the government achieve its sustainable energy goals and will serve as a benchmark in India’s sustainable energy programme. The issues of global warming and pollution can be answered through technologies like the Mahindra FuelSmart.
“This pioneering technology is very relevant to India. It was specially created keeping in mind the heavy traffic congestion drivers have to face on our roads today. An incremental cost of only Rs 3,800 makes the highly advantageous Mahindra FuelSmart System quite affordable. Therefore, it can be used across a large number of vehicles and make a significant difference to energy consumption,” said Dr. Pawan Goenka – President, Automotive Sector, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd.
