Mahindra & Mahindra today launched DigiSense, a technology solution that connects Mahindra vehicles, tractors, trucks and construction equipment to the cloud.

The aim of the technology platform, which is offered as a subscription-based service at a price, is to offer a new dimension to vehicle ownership.

DigiSense or digitally enabled sensing, will be available across M&M’s entire mobility portfolio ranging from commercial and passenger vehicles to tractors and construction equipment. It will initially be available in the Jeeto and Imperio small CVs, the Arjun tractor, the Mahindra Blazo HCV and the Earthmaster construction equipment. Subsequently, it will be rolled out on the entire M&M vehicle line-up.

It aims to empower owners, fleet operators, drivers, dealers and service teams to access vital information about their vehicles on a real-time basis. This includes performance and location of the vehicle, emergency breakdown services and route planner, among other features. Meanwhile, remote diagnostics and reports allow service teams to monitor vehicle health and productivity parameters in real-time.

Commenting on the launch of DigiSense, Dr Pawan Goenka, executive director, Mahindra & Mahindra, said: “Digitisation is emerging as a key differentiator for business transformation and connected vehicle technology is one such manifestation. DigiSense is the first of its kind technology platform which is multi-application and multi-enabled. From providing real-time data to tracking performance and productivity of vehicles, DigiSense will enable customers to control their businesses.”

Rajan Wadhera, president and chief executive – Truck, Powertrain Division and Head, MRV, M&M, said: “DigiSense is a modular, scalable, flexible and robust connected vehicle platform that has been conceived and brought to life by bringing together an entire ecosystem of stakeholders. We have built in several features into DigiSense and will further integrate other features in future features.
