Mahindra unveils Cruzio, an all-new range of buses based on ICV platform

From the safety perspective, the Cruzio meets the Rollover Test norms as per AIS031 and the BUS Body code as per AIS 052. It is also compliant with the latest regulatory requirements of AIS 153, which has stringent noise and vibration standards. Cruzio offers enhanced visibility in both day and night and bigger brakes for efficient braking performance with short stopping distances. It has the highest ground clearance in the category to avoid damage to bumpers.

Cruzio also offers best-in-class seat width with seats that are contoured and ergonomically designed to provide full back support. A broad gangway and improved parabolic suspension lead to best-in-class ride comfort. Cruzio’s engine is equipped with the patented Mahindra FuelSmart Technology to optimise fuel consumption. The highlight of this technology is the multimode switches, which help optimise fuel consumption and engine power availability as per load and road conditions. This ensures higher savings in fuel expenses and greater profitability. Cruzio is also equipped with an Intelligent Driver Information System (DIS) for easy driving with all the useful information available on the instrument cluster to help improve driver productivity and safety.

The truck will be manufactured at Mahindra’s Zaheerabad manufacturing facility in Telangana.
