Ideal Motors hands over latest model Mahindra Blazo trucks to new owners
India’s leading auto manufacturer Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd, a member of the Mahindra Group, together with its Sri Lankan partner Ideal Motors (Pvt) Ltd., a member of the Ideal Group, handed over brand new Mahindra Blazo trucks to their new owners during an official ceremony held recently. The event was held at the company's Peliyagoda premises in the presence of Nalin Welgama - Chairman of Ideal Motors.
The three Mahindra heavy commercial vehicle models - Blazo Cabin Chassis, Blazo Tipper and Blazo Prime Mover - come with Euro4 technology and are well-positioned to meet the commercial transportation needs of the country. The models provide a range of features including a 274HP powerful high capacity engine, Driver Information System, FuelSmart technology, adjustable driver’s seat, 6- speed heavy duty gearbox, Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and a strong 8.5mm chassis. When compared to the previous models, the new models provide more power, guarantee lower maintenance costs and are more environmentally-friendly. The new models also offer better fuel efficiency and the vehicles’ full lubrication service only needs to be carried out at 90,000km or once a year.
Seven Blazo Prime Mover vehicles were ceremoniously handed over by Nalin Welgama to their new owner, Upali Gunawardena - President of the Association of Container Transporters (ACT). Addressing the audience, Gunawardena stated, “Mahindra is a very strong brand in the local market. Mahindra Blazo 40 is a prime mover that uses Euro4 technology and we are confident that it will do very well in the local market, especially since it is backed by Ideal Motors, a trusted name in the local automotive industry.”
