EATON M-LOCKER DIFF STIFFENS MAHINDRA SCORPIO


Mahindra South Africa has improved the value-for-money proposition of its Scorpio bakkie range which consists of single- and double-cab Pik Ups in 2 and 4 wheel drive models, by adding Eaton’s locking rear differential to the standard specification.


“This is the second added value initiative to be introduced to the customer by Mahindra in recent months,” said the CEO of Mahindra SA, Ashok Thakur. “A three-year/60 000km company-backed service plan was the first. Now we have included a speed-sensing Eaton’s mechanical locking rear differential on all Scorpio bakkie models to enhance the on- and off-road capabilities of these tough and durable vehicles”.

The Eaton M-Locker provides full axle lock-up when necessary, disables itself at any speed above 20km/h and is fully compatible with the anti-lock brakes (ABS) that are standard on all Scorpio bakkie models. Eaton has continuously improved its mechanical locking differential during its 30 years in production and fitted it to millions of vehicles a year.

All models offer a high level of standard equipment including air conditioning, airbags, power windows and central locking.

The company’s commitment to its Scorpio bakkie customers includes a three-year/100 000km warranty and its growing network of dealers is making it easier to find a conveniently located sales and service facility.

Recommended retail prices for the Scorpio bakkie range starts at R169 400 for the 4x2 Single Cab and ends with the range topping 4x4 Double-Cab at R242 900. Prices include VAT.
