Good Morning Mahindra Truck Fans,
Congratulations. You are part of over 30,000 signed up to be the first to experience the hardworking Mahindra trucks.

I know you are wondering when you will have the opportunity to get behind the wheel of one of these amazing, authentic, robust, fuel-efficient trucks at a Mahindra dealer near you. While I cannot give you a firm answer on timing, I can tell you in my estimation, trucks will arrive in the spring of 2011.

Mahindra has applied for and received their EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) certificate, which means the vehicles have passed emission requirements. They also filed with (NHTSA) National Highway Safety Administration, which handles US standards for safety.

With these hurdles completed, it would seem production is imminent, but other factors may hinder the US launch. India’s car sales are on a dramatic trajectory upward. The sales pace combined with an industry wide parts shortage is impacting home market sales, which will have an affect on the United States introduction.

In closing, I know each of you anxiously await the arrival of the Mahindra trucks, and I am confident that you will see a launch announcement in the next few months.

I work as an inspector for commercial construction. I'm employed by a small engineering firm that is still trying to get established so we currently have to use our own personal vehicles and get reimbursed mileage. Because of this most of the field techs in our office have small economy cars so we can save a little fuel with all the traveling. This would be the perfect work vehicle!!! I am definitely going to check these out when they are finally debuted.

I am looking forward to them as well. But if this crap doesn't get settled between GV and Mahindra Corp in India, my faith and confidence of this company in North America will wain quickly.

If they fail to deliver by this next self imposed deadline, then I'm looking elsewhere.

Will these be serviced and sold and serviced by Navistar International Trucks since its part of their group

The dealer that is listed by GV, that is local to me is also a Chevy dealership. I understand that the International connection would be logical, but it appears that they are going it on their own.
