June 4, 2012: Mahindra Navistar Automotives Ltd (MNAL) has rolled out its 5000th truck from its state-of-the-art plant at Chakan in Maharashtra. According to the company, its 4,500 trucks running on Indian roads have clocked more than eight crore kilometres under various applications.

Speaking on the occasion, managing director Nalin Mehta said, “This is a landmark day in the history of Mahindra Navistar and this achievement reflects the ever-increasing customer confidence. This would not have been possible without the support of the formidable service network of nearly 1,001 service points on strategic trucking routes across India that includes 56 unique, large-scale 3S dealerships which are designed to cater to customers differently. The wide, strategically located network also includes 220 authorised service points and 703 roadside assistance points in addition to 22 dealerships dedicated to LCV customers. Also, customer benefits like four-year unlimited mileage warranty and 48-hour on-road assurance.”

MNAL makes its range of medium and heavy commercial vehicles at a new integrated manufacturing facility at Chakan. The plant, which is spread over 700 acres, has been set up with an investment of over Rs 4,000 crore and produces other Mahindra products as well (Maxximo, Genio SC/DC and the XUV500).
