Mahindra is going from strength to strength as every year passes by. Many international car manufacturers are eyeing Mahindra as a partner for their South Asia operations. A lot of are coming Mahindra's way. Development of new cars with great styling has given Mahindra an edge over the others. In recognition of this fact, they have been bestowed with the ‘Excellence in Innovation’ award
Mahindra is the first company to unveil a Bio-diesel SUV and is the only Indian company to come up with a hybrid SUV. The Scorpio hybrid beats off the costly technologies on Honda Civic hybrid and Toyota Prius.

The stuff inside the secret bag is out? Now the car and two-wheeler manufacturers will reveal data on fuel efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions to the government. Good news indeed!
The manufacturing industry has agreed to share the data after a third round of meetings, but a major newspaper today revealed that if the automotive industry is unable to share the data, then the government will find their own ways to recover such data from the market and agencies like the Indian Institute of Petroleum.
I am happy to see such firm decisions by Indian government to combat environmental pollution. As they always say, better late than never!

I read so many articles about environment pollution due to increasing number of vehicles on Indian roads and like so many others I blamed car manufacturers for not showing any concern towards this grave issue. However, I found myself in the wrong. Very recently, I attended
Toyota India’s 10th anniversary celebration attended by high-profile personalities and auto big-wigs.
As the function progressed, Katsuaki Watanabe, President of Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) in India shared his views. He revealed that Toyota cars have always tried to use eco-friendly engines and that they will have
hybrid technology implemented in almost all their cars in the next few years to reduce the pollution levels in India. Toyota wants to harmonize the cycle of Industry with the cycles of nature according to their Global Vision 2020.
Today, I am quite relieved to know that there are some car manufacturers like Toyota who are committed and are seriously making efforts to protect our environment. And in my effort to support them; I will be first in-queue when these
Hybrid cars are launched.

You hear about the news that
General Motors is launching close to 50
ethanol cars by 2012? Can anyone confirm if this is a rumor? I heard that 11 ethanol-enabled cars will be brought out this year in 2008 and 15 in 2009. I hope that GM considers their launch in India along with its international launches.
Pollution levels in urban India are reaching unbearable levels – seen the news lately! Smog and heavy toxins are having a damaging effect on kids’ health. And as far as I can tell, the best solution would be to reduce carbon emissions on roads. My 10 year old son suffers from asthma and all these masks and filters for the mouth and nose don’t help much. Trucks and autos and vans are the government’s responsibility, but atleast we the people of India can do something about our bikes and cars!
I support GM and any other
manufacturer that will help keep the environment clean. I hope that GM launches these ethanol cars in full scale in India without looking for profit motives as a boon to the next generation.
