Mahindra trucks have very good reputation in India. They supposedly take all the abuse with very low maintenance demand. Indian models are underpowered by US standards 60 to 70 HP. On the other hand they make about 30 mpg. They cost about 500 000 rupees ($10000).
30MPG diesel for 10K. Thats what im talking about. THeres a market for that. Not everybody has the means to plunk down 50K for a big3 diesel.I think it will be a success if theyre tough and people give them a chance.
