Global Vehicles USA has been importing on behalf of the Mahindra diesel pickup, but said the Indian car manufacturer, that the pact had expired. The drama between the two companies began in the summer when GM claim legal action against Mahindra in Atlanta, GA, that the automaker was trying to cut out the importer of the action. Mahindra later flat-out rejected GM's $ 35,000,000 to return in September, what more bad blood.
But now, Automotive News reports that Global Vehicles has withdrawn his application, but the importer does not throw up the white flag just yet. Court papers indicate the application was withdrawn because GM chose instead to throw all his efforts in a British court of arbitration, the rule to the case in August. The London panel is said to have refused to rule on the case while it was also a complaint in the United States.
Mahindra also found himself on the wrong end of the publicity machine in the last week as the Environmental Protection Agency their small diesel pickup was a lackluster fuel economy rating of 19 miles per gallon in the city and 21 mpg on the highway. These figures are far from the 30 mpg Mahindra has promised to all, but GM CEO John Perez has obviously one that the vehicle was tested four-wheel-drive equipped four-door told. Perez claims that the rear-engined, two-door model with 40 percent less fuel than the charged-up are four-door, and the 30 mpg number will happen.
We know that injured four-wheel-drive and the extra weight of a crew cab configuration, fuel consumption, but in our mind that is still not up to a 40 percent drop in fuel efficiency. Either way, we must hold out hope that Perez is right, because if the model offers exceptional economy, we are, it becomes a seriously difficult to build a business case for herself among the U.S. consumers think.
