Mumbai: Homegrown automobile brand Mahindra & Mahindra launched the Veero light commercial vehicle (LCV). The vehicle is offered at a starting price of Rs 7.99 lakh (ex-showroom).
Positioned in the 2-ton to 3.5-ton category, the Mahindra Veero is based on the new Urban Prosper Platform (UPP), which is India’s first multi-energy modular CV platform and can spawn both internal combustion engine (ICE) and electric models.
The UPP is engineered to support payloads from 1 ton to 2+ ton in multiple deck lengths and can accommodate multiple powertrain options, including diesel, CNG and electric. As of now, the Veero is available with diesel and CNG powertrains.
The new LCV has two engine options — 1.5-litre mDI diesel (80hp of maximum power and 210Nm of peak torque) and Turbo mCNG (90hp of maximum power and 210Nm of peak torque). Both engines are mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. The mileage is claimed to be 18.4 km/l for the Veero diesel and 19.2 km/kg for the Veero CNG, which has a claimed range of over 500 km with a 5-litre additional petrol tank.
