Mileage Guarantee: A Closer Look at Mahindra's Pioneering Approach

Mileage guarantees enable fleet operators With rising fuel costs and stringent regulatory standards, mileage guarantees are becoming essential in the commercial vehicle industry. These guarantees enable fleet operators to forecast expenses accurately, maintain predictable fuel budgets, and reduce the risk of unplanned maintenance, which is particularly valuable in cost-conscious markets like India. In response, Mahindra Truck and Bus Division (MTBD) has pioneered its mileage guarantee under the “Get More Mileage or Give the Truck Back” programme. This promise not only reflects Mahindra’s confidence in its Bharat Stage VI OBD II trucks but also marks a shift in the industry’s approach to meeting operator needs, and enhancing customer satisfaction through fuel efficiency.
