Brand New Mahindra Furio ICV Truck Launched in India. Mahindra claims best in class in ever regard. Be it comfort or durability

Mahindra today unveiled the FURIO, its brand new range of Intermediate Commercial Vehicles (ICVs). FURIO marks the company’s entry into the ICV segment and is set to make Mahindra a full range commercial vehicle player. Mahindra FURIO is the culmination of focused efforts from more than 500 Mahindra engineers, 180 suppliers and an investment of Rs. 600 crores.

ICV transporters expect FURIO to improve their operating economics through higher mileage, low maintenance and more power for increased load carrying capacity. Keeping this in mind, the new MDI Tech, ICV Engine will be equipped with Mahindra’s FuelSmart technology to optimize fuel consumption. The highlight of this technology is the multimode switches to optimize fuel consumption to the load and road conditions. Apart from this, the MDI Tech engine will be light weight, and low friction to further enhance its efficiency. The engine will offer high torque at low RPMs, leading to higher performance in both inter-city and intra-city traffic conditions. During its development, Engine Testing included two phases of accelerated testing of 8,000 hours each with different test cycles.

FURIO development began in 2014 with the product conceptualization process involving an in-depth interaction with over 500 customers across India to gain insights on current as well as latent needs, which provided rigour to the development process. This was followed by the Quality Function Deployment methodology based study for firming up the platform strategy, which in turn led to modularity of all major models.

The product development journey involved more than 500 Mahindra employees directly or indirectly. About 180 suppliers were involved in the project right from the conceptualization phase. Most importantly, the state of the art cabin of the FURIO was designed by Pininfarina, the renowned Italian design house, giving the new truck one of the safest, most ergonomic and comfortable cabins in the industry.

The FURIO range of ICVs have been tested for over 17 lakh kms on roads during the validation process and trials. Further, highway durability trials were undertaken across the ghats, other road conditions, cities and state highways (single and double lane roads), and high and low speed applications. Over 1,000 such performance tests were carried out.

Structural durability validation was accomplished for the equivalent of 10 years of vehicle service life, involving all 4 platforms. Further endurance tests such as sea level to high altitude trials and sub-zero to high ambient temperature trials were also undertaken. The FURIO ICV range will be manufactured at Mahindra Vehicles Manufacturing Ltd. in Chakan, the company’s world class manufacturing facility near Pune.
