Another vehicle manufacturer is now selling to the Australian market, with Indian company Manindra launching its Scorpio Pik-Up aimed mainly at commercial users like tradesmen, farmers and also for recreational drivers.
Available in single or dual cab for Australian buyers, the Pik-Up is now in a number of dealerships owned by Manindra’s global parter TMI Pacific, an arm of Sydney’s Tynan Motor Group.

The Pik-Up has a 2.5l intercooled turbo diesel engine which meets local emission standards and produces 79kW of power and 247Nm of torque
.
Chairman of TMI Pacific and the Tynan Motor Group of companies, Michael Tynan said: “As per our initial plans, we have secured 10 dealers for the Mahindra Pik-Up in NSW, and anticipate a complete national roll out with a network of 50 dealers by the middle of next year.

TMI Pacific, which operates from its new head office in Sutherland, will be dedicated to servicing the Australian market with after-market services, spare parts distribution and technical training of specialists.

According to Tynan, thorough market testing in tough and rugged conditions has ensured the vehicle will deliver on the expectations of the Australian driver.  He expects it will strongly appeal to rural consumers and tradesmen, and also believes its pricing, large tray and cabin will endear it to sportspeople and families.

“On that basis we have no doubt that we’ll be able to fulfil our initial projection of 600 units sold in the first year,” Tynan said.

The Mahindra Pik-Up is the first Indian vehicle in its segment to be unveiled in a global market.
