Mahindra Vehicles Diesel Tanks
Of course, driving these trucks unladen makes little sense itd be like testing a baseball bat without ever giving it a swing so our host kindly provided us with trucks hauling everything from the box of air that most light-duty trucks seem to carry, right up to a 6,125 kg (13,500 lbs.) fifth wheel horse trailer fortunately sans horses.
The flats of the Prairies would hardly pose a challenge, even loaded, so GMs evaluation route had us not only driving on the highway through Calgarys sprawling suburbs (unfortunately, its not just a GTA thing), but over the highest elevation section of paved road in Canada, the 2205 m (7239 ft) Highwood Pass on Albertas Hwy. 40.
Our test victims were a mixture of 2011 Chevrolet Silverados and GMC Sierras mechanical twins that differ only slightly in content and appearance in both 2500HD (three-quarter-ton) and 3500HD (1-ton) series, though all were 4WD crew cab models powered by the available 6.6 L Duramax turbodiesel V8.
Changes to these HD lines standard 360 hp/380 lb.-f.t 6.0 L Vortec gasoline V8 and its accompanying Hydra-Matic 6L90 six-speed automatic transmission are relatively minor for 2011, so the comprehensively reworked Duramax was chosen for the spotlight instead.

The perception of doing business in Africa as "risky business", is fast diminishing as India looks to Africa as a favourable destination for trade.
The Companies Act 1956 [hereinafter the Act] mandates that new issues of share capital should consist of only two types i.e. equity share capital with voting rights or differential voting rights as to dividend, voting or otherwise and Preference share capital (section 86 introduced with effect from 13-12-2000 applicable in the case of public companies).
On 18 December 2009, the Lok Sabha (Lower House of the Indian Parliament) passed the Trade Marks (Amendment) Bill, 2009, which will implement the Madrid Protocol into Indian Trade Mark Law.
Because the SAIC-GM-Wuling combo managed to sell more than 6.5 lakh units of this machine last year. Yes, this is the largest-selling single-model car in the whole world and is only matched by the Ford F-150 range of pick-ups. And now comes the funny bit — it ain’t even a car. It is a people mover based on a panel van or the other way around — depending on the way you see things.
And why am I spending precious column-centimetres on this van? Because it is coming to India and it has the potential to do extremely well. To get the right picture of the car, imagine a Maruti Suzuki Eeco and blotch it up a notch and presto, you have a minivan with three proper rows of seating, reasonable fit-and-finish and er, lots of grey plastic in the interiors. Mind you, this car is not even in the Mahindra Xylo/Toyota Innova segment but it manages to haul a hell of a lot of Chinese every year.
Now, to those who are not informed, Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (SAIC), a true Chinese giant, holds 50 per cent ownership in GM India which went through a reorganisation post General Motors going bankrupt.
In short, the sky is the limit when it comes to product planning for GM India. It will all get kick-started with a commercial vehicle that will help GM India keep the Halol plant in Gujarat ticking while passenger vehicles may roll out of the spanking new Talegaon plant near Pune.
