During the COVID-19 pandemic's second wave, the Mahindra Group has launched an initiative under the name 'Oxygen on Wheels' to bridge the gap that exists between oxygen production and transportation in India, particularly in Maharashtra.

Anand Mahindra, Chairman of the Mahindra Group, announced this initiative to help reach oxygen cylinders to different parts of the country to help people at a time when the oxygen crisis has been responsible for the death of many Covid-19 patients.

The company has approximately 70 Bolero pickup trucks lined up to deliver oxygen cylinders. Anand Mahindra announced the initiative on social media. “Today, oxygen is the key to reducing mortality,” Mahindra tweeted. The issue is not one of oxygen production, but of transportation from manufacturing plants to hospitals and homes. With “Oxygen on Wheels,” a project implemented by Mahindra Logistics, we are attempting to bridge this gap.”

“The rollout plan includes Mumbai, Thane, Nashik, and Nagpur going live with another 50-75 Bolero pickups on the road in the next 48 hours,” Mahindra wrote. So far, Mahindra has assisted in the delivery of 61 jumbo cylinders to 13 hospitals in desperate need.

With 46,02,472 cases and 68,813 deaths, Maharashtra is India's worst-affected state in the pandemic. Though the Oxygen on Wheels initiative will initially serve the needs of residents in Maharashtra, Mahindra plans to expand this convoy of oxygen cylinders to other parts of the country in the near future.

“We have started in Maharashtra, but we will expand this across the country, relying on the support of our trusted dealership network and the assistance of local administrations to succeed,” Mahindra said.

The new-generation Mahindra Thar has been finally unveiled and the off-roader takes a quantum leap over the current model. The all-new offering is feature-packed, technology-rich and designed to meet the current and future safety and emission norms. The Thar will be made available in the AX and LX series. The new Mahindra Thar will be launched on October 2, 2020.

All-New Thar Design

The All-New Thar stays true to the iconic 2-door silhouette but adds purposeful and contemporary touches and design elements to it. With a wider, better-balanced stance and a choice of hard top and convertible rooftop options, the All-New Thar imposes its presence wherever it goes.

This design approach flows into the interiors as well. While retaining the commanding driving position that is an integral part of the Thar’s DNA, the All-New Thar has a completely redesigned interior that mirrors the robust, retro-styled cues of the Thar’s exteriors.

The second-generation Thar is significantly bigger than its predecessor but will retain its boxy silhouette. Then there are the familiar elements like circular headlamps but they're now surrounded by LED DRLs which give the Thar an upmarket look and it's not overdone too. It gets LED tail lights, tailgate-mounted spare wheel and new 18-inch alloy wheels finished in black among others. 

All-New Thar Performance

The petrol is a 2-litre unit which churns out 150 bhp and 320 Nm while the diesel is a 2.2-litre unit making 130 bhp. · The car also gets new gearbox options: 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission & 6-speed manual transmission mated to an authentic manual shift-on-the-fly 4x4 transfer case. The AX Series will only be available with manual transmission on both the petrol and diesel, while the LX Series will see the diesel get a manual and automatic transmission but the petrol will only be available with an automatic.

Off-Road Capability and Driving Experience

Rough trips demand tough vehicles. That’s why the All-New Thar has been built on a rugged 3rd Generation chassis and tested extensively in some of the harshest terrain in India and across the world. It has an all-new suspension setup that delivers the impossible: better off-roading capability, as well as superior on-road handling and drives quality. The All-New Thar is also equipped with advanced off-road hardware that seriously improves its capability to go wherever and do whatever the driver demands of it.

Everyday Comfort & Convenience Features 

The All-New Thar has been designed to provide amazing comfort & convenience in all driving conditions, be they off-road, on the highway or in the city. A special focus has been given to making the interior design as ergonomic as possible for all passengers, not just the driver.

You now get a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system, auto climate control, power windows, remote locking, dual front airbags, rear parking sensors and speed alert system among others are expected to be on offer as. 

All-New Thar Safety 

While exploring the impossible, it’s best to stay as safe as possible. That’s why the All-New Thar is equipped with an excellent range of active & passive safety features to keep all passengers secure and out of harm’s way.
