In a step towards innovation, new variants of Scorpio and Bolero were announced by Mahindra, powered by micro-hybrid technology. The price of the models has been decided between Rs 6.5 lakh and Rs 6.97 lakh.

This technology has been developed by Mahindra in collaboration with Bosch. The good thing in these variants is that they provide an average fuel saving of about five percent, which could not be offered in the earlier variants.

Basically, the technology which has been incorporated in these vehicles turns the engine off when they are in idle or neutral gear.

Once the driver presses the clutch, the engine is restarted. A patent for the technology used in these vehicles has also been applied by Mahindra & Mahindra.
