Mahindra got its hold of controlling stake in the business of Peugeot’s scooter previous year. However, looks like the two big brand manufacturers are into something now, by means of Mahindra publicizing something more powerful and bigger scooter for Indian market.
The arm of Mahindra’s two-wheeler is presently planning to be in very much action from last year in 2015. Well, though the first launch of this year is definitely the much-delayed two-wheeler 300cc Mojo sports bike, the company is also planning to introduce their new Gusto-based 125cc scooter after that. Now, if reports are to believed true then the company is also working on to make a new 150cc scooter, which reportedly Mahindra will be developing with Peugeot.
At the official launch of Mahindra Gusto that happened in the southern part of India, official representatives of Mahindra stated that they have indeed started working on their niche 150cc scooter, and the company is looking forward for a December 2015 launch in India. For international markets, the brand Peugeot already has their 150cc scooter as Django, which is further powered by 4-stroke, and air-cooled motor that produces 11.13 BHP of power mated to an automatic transmission. However, Mahindra would like to challenge the likes of Yamaha FZ, Bajaj Pulsar, and Suzuki Gixxer, with their new 150cc scooter.
Well, although the plans are quite grand, but seems like it will be quite a tough situation to draw the attention of consumers in this crowded division. Nevertheless, we are keenly looking forward for this new 150cc scooter.
