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.
