Renowned for producing rugged off-road vehicles, M&M presented the Global Pik Up concept at the Futurescape event in South Africa. This concept seamlessly integrates design, advanced technology, connected features, and off-road capabilities while retaining the inherent rugged essence of a pickup truck.
Although the pickup truck culture isn't as prominent in the country, with only the Toyota Hilux and Isuzu D-Max V-Cross currently available, Mahindra's plans to introduce the Global Pik Up truck to India in two years will likely disrupt the market.
Additionally, Overdrive delves into the unique features of the Ather 450S. Following the Indian government's reduction in subsidies for two-wheeler electric vehicles, Ather has introduced its most budget-friendly electric scooter in the country.
