At Mahindra, sectors like Automotive, Farm equipment and Two wheelers define the development of the product concept, research & development and product certification as key stages for assessing and augmenting the health and safety of our vehicles.
For domestic market, Automotive and Farm Equipment divisions closely monitor compliance with applicable Indian regulations viz. Central Motor Vehicle Rules (CMVR)), including those relating to seatbelt anchorage, head impact, steering impact, pendulum impact, emission, noise & safety. We are
on track with our mission to bring 13 mega cities of the country under the Bharat
Stage IV emission norms and rest of the cities with Bharat Stage III norms
Additionally, 40% of our vehicles, meant for the export market, are designed in accordance with major European, Australian, South African & South American motor vehicle safety standards and regulations such as front, offset, side and rear impact with dummy injury criteria. Compliance is monitored with applicable OECD & country specific regulations including those for emission, noise and safety.
EURO IV emission norms have been achieved for all export vehicles.
All safety instructions of the product are conveyed through a user's manual. Moreover dealers are also trained to provide a better understanding of safety to the customers.
Mahindra Two Wheelers
Mahindra Two Wheelers has come up with a unique safety feature in the 'Flyte' model in addition to being in line with vehicle safety laws and CMVR Rules for ARAI certification. Its fuel cut-off valve ensures zero fuel leakage as this valve creates requisite pressure in fuel tank to maintain correct flow of fuel and releases pressure to stop fuel flow to avoid leakage and fire hazard when vehicle falls on ground. It also cuts-off engine to ensure further safety.
Systech
Systech companies, specialising in casting, forging, composite manufacture and steel processing, have different approaches to health
and safety issues.
Our steel and composite companies focus mainly on manufacturing and production processes to ensure that applicable health and safety requirements are met.
Our MUSCO Steel Plant is EMS ISO 14001:2004 certified and in the continual improvement cycle. Areas of product safety and new developments in micro alloys are taken into consideration using learning's from ISO 14062 standard.
Mahindra composite conducts Computer Aided Engineering (CAE)
analysis to determine the break point of their product. In addition to this the material is also checked through 3rd party laboratory to ensure product endurance. This is followed by software modelling of the product to ensure that the product delivers its designed output.
Our casting division investigates health and safety issues early in the product lifecycle, with special emphasis during concept development
and research & development. They follow directives on the restriction of hazardous substances and on the use of perfluoro-octanesulfonates (PFOS) and persistent organic chlorinated compounds that are
considered toxic.
