Mahindra Jeeto gains 20 per cent market share

In a year of its launch, Mahindra Jeeto has gained a 20 per cent market share. Based on a modular platform with eight variants, the Small Commercial vehicle (SCV), it has been instrumental in endorsing the company’s participation in the respective market segment. Available with an exchange offer of up to Rs.20,000, the sub one-tonne mini-truck is powered by a single-cylinder mDura 625cc engine placed at the rear with the drive going to the rear wheels via a four-speed gearbox. Supported by a warranty of two years or 40,000 km, whichever is earlier, the Jeeto is claimed to offer 30 per cent higher earning potential. According to Pravin Shah, President & Chief Executive (Automotive), Mahindra & Mahindra, the Jeeto has been a game-changer in its category, and has helped increase the market share in the sub two-tonne LCV segment. The Jeeto was judged the ‘CV of the year’ by the 2016 Apollo-CV Awards jury.
