Mahindra Truck and Bus on Friday launched the BLAZO i-TRK, a new heavy commercial vehicle aimed at improving fuel efficiency, uptime and fleet profitability, with the company pitching it as a "Profit Ka Rocket".
The truckmaker said the BLAZO i-TRK can deliver up to 10% better fuel efficiency and potentially generate up to Rs 15 lakh in additional profit per truck over five years, compared with other trucks in the industry.

A key feature of the new truck is iFuelSmart, which Mahindra describes as India's first AI-enabled automatic drive mode in the heavy commercial vehicle segment. The system analyses road gradients, payload conditions and driving requirements and automatically selects the most fuel-efficient driving mode.
The BLAZO i-TRK is powered across its range by Mahindra's 7.2-litre, 320 HP mPOWER engine, which produces 1,100 Nm of torque across a 1,100-1,700 rpm operating range. The engine is paired with technologies including TurboMAXX, which improves airflow and low-end torque, and OptiFuel, an intelligent air compressor designed to reduce parasitic power losses.
