27% of all Mahindra Automotive variants contributed 50% of sales in CY 2025. The XUV 700, Furio, Scorpio Thar, Jeeto MAXX, Alfa, and TREO come in various variants, and some are in demand for their price points, features, performance, and maintenance costs.

Mahindra registered more than 1,000 variants across its automotive segments in CY 2019. Post-COVID, Mahindra product planning has been optimized through the launch of new models across various segments. In the last 6 years, Mahindra Sales have increased, but the number of variants is lower than in CY 2019. Mahindra sales are ~2X in CY 2025 compared to CY 2019. Mahindra registered (Retail sales) 956,337 units in CY 2025. The sales included SUVs, Pickups, Buses, Trucks, Mini Trucks, LCVs, electric three-wheelers, and Construction Equipment.

In the Heavy Duty Truck segment, Bulker is popular among fleet owners due to its suitability for cement and Fly Ash transport applications. The key reason is that, in this application, the Mahindra Tractor trailer has better mileage than other models.

Bolero is the leading Mahindra model, but not all Bolero variants are not top sellers; only 3 are customers’ preferred choices. It is because these 3 variants offer the best value and have greater competitive advantages.

This macro-level data shows that variant-level sales data is required to understand product-market fit.

The further Mahindra SML Isuzu acquisition required a sharp product, Brand, and Sales strategy to win the white space in the market. Product position is one of the key challenges for both companies. Our RTO- and Variant-wise Indian Automotive Sales reflect the pulse of the Indian Automotive Industry.

Scania Commercial Vehicle India

In 2015, Scania had 42 variants in the Truck and Bus segment, but in 2025, it had only 4. Of the 4 variants, 1 is contributing to the major sales.

In 2015, Scania was also selling buses such as the Scania Metrolink, driven by strong growth in this segment. However, the company is now focusing mainly on Heavy Duty Trucks for mining and a few other applications. 19 Scania Bus variants and 23 Truck variants were available in the market in 2015. Scania is struggling in India, not because of product quality issues, but because of challenges with sales, marketing, and branding. There is still market potential for the company to have an effective presence in some applications and locations in India.

Volvo

On the other hand, Volvo Trucks and Buses are leading the Premium segment in India. 20 Volvo Trucks variants registered in India in CY 2025. The 8X4 Tipper is the leading truck type in the Volvo truck portfolio, including dump trucks, and 4X2 and 6X4 truck types. FM 420 LNG Tractor 4X2 has gained traction in certain applications due to its technology and suitability. VOLVO FM500 6X4E 34 R PULLER is in demand for special applications in India, such as the transportation of heavy machines like transformers. Large logistic companies use such vehicles as ALIGN GLOBAL LOGISTICS PRIVATE LIMITED and PRC Logistics. These companies get business from companies such as Siemens, Reliance, Toshiba, and Adani. The operation cost is high for such trucks. There are around 150 tubeless tires in the trailer, and they need to be replaced after 20-30K km.

Two heavy-duty 8X4 Eicher tipper models were considered under the Volvo brand, but they were labeled with the Eicher nameplate. The company is challenged by Electric Truck OEMs such as Propel, SANY, and IPL India due to the high cost of HDT Electric Trucks in India.

The Indian Premium commercial vehicle market is small in terms of volume, but in value, it is worth having a presence. There are a few applications, like mining, where there is a deamd of the premium tippers and

Both brands have strong global brand images. The market entry strategies differ between the two companies. In terms of the market, both companies are targeting the same customer group.

Sales of Indian electric buses are driven by specific variant names. Tracking only model-level sales, such as EcoRide X9 or VoltMax (Dummy name), yields only 30% of the market intelligence. There are various variants under a single model name. Some variants are entirely different; one accounts for 70% of sales, and another for 30%. The difference between 2 variants may be minor, but it can be highly effective in influencing customer preferences.

We provide Electric Bus data on the product, customers, and market. This data can inform your brand strategy to quickly win in the market. It also saves budget and time by investing in variants that have demand. This is a ready-made recipe to win the market.

Electric Bus Component manufacturers:

You’re not selling your components or product; you’re offering a competitive advantage and solving the problem.

The cold could be like this:

Mr. Vinod, I see your MountainMaster AC M12 33  is winning tenders in North India. Our Electric Bus data, by variant, shows that 65% of winning bids in these regions require 200 kW or more of motor power.

We’ve developed a 220kW motor specifically optimized for this type of hill application, achieving 98% efficiency above 2,000m, unlike current solutions that drop to 88%.

With your AC M12 33 variant targeting tenders in Himachal Pradesh and some northern states next month, we’d like to schedule a technical review with your engineering team this week.

Model Variant Electric Bus data turns component sales from a “commodity business” (low margins, high competition) into a “solutions business” (high margins, strategic partnerships).

You stop being “another motor supplier” and become “the motor partner for EcoTrans’s winning hill-state variants.”

That is worth 10x more, creates long-term contracts, and makes you indispensable.

For emerging product categories like fuel cells, the holistic assessment of both ownership and operational costs emerges as a pivotal determinant in their path to commercialization. This assessment is intricately interwoven with the levels of functionality and performance they deliver, collectively steering the course of their market acceptance.

When evaluating the total cost of ownership for power systems like fuel cells, it involves considering several integral components. These components encompass factors such as fuel expenditures, additional operational costs like maintenance, and the initial equipment investment. Notably, the initial equipment cost significantly influences the competitive standing of fuel cells in the market landscape.

This report directs its focus towards hydrogen electrification via proton-exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). These fuel cells are widely acknowledged to have reached a state of commercial readiness, especially within the realm of automotive applications. Vehicles such as logistics vehicles, buses, and taxi fleets have very minimum reliance on hydrogen infrastructure, which makes them more viable and can be put to use.

Take a glance at how the inner things operate :

Fuel cell technology encompasses a diverse array of types, yet at its core, it consists of three fundamental components: an anode, a cathode, and an electrolyte. This amalgamation facilitates the seamless movement of ions—often in the form of positively charged hydrogen ions (protons)—across the cell.

At the anode, a catalyst instigates oxidation reactions within the fuel, giving rise to ions (predominantly positively charged hydrogen ions) and electrons. These ions traverse the electrolyte, journeying from the anode to the cathode. Concurrently, electrons embark on an external circuit from anode to cathode, culminating in the production of direct current electricity.

The cathode, in turn, is home to a distinct catalyst that triggers a reaction involving ions, electrons, and oxygen. The outcome is the formation of water and, potentially, other secondary products.

While the generation of electricity is a primary output, fuel cells also produce valuable by products—water and heat. Depending on the fuel source, there might also be trace emissions, like minimal quantities of nitrogen dioxide.
Efficiency in fuel cells typically hovers between 40% and 60%, with a potential for remarkable upticks to around 85% if waste heat is harnessed through cogeneration mechanisms.

Shifting the spotlight onto hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, they utilize hydrogen fuel cells to power their electric motors. The process involves activating the fuel cell with hydrogen, leading to the generation of electricity. What distinguishes these cars is their potential to greatly reduce emissions in transportation, in sharp contrast to conventional diesel and gasoline vehicles that emit greenhouse gases while operating.

Prominent companies such as Bosch and Nikola are dedicating significant resources to drive the expansion and profitability of this technology. Concurrently, BMW is heavily involved in the development of hydrogen fuel cell automobiles. Japan is preparing for large-scale hydrogen vehicle production, while India is actively investigating hydrogen fuel cell technology, receiving substantial investments from Reliance and Adani. Successful trials have been conducted with vehicles like BharatBenz Buses and Ashok Leyland vehicles. The Ministry of Transport has undoubtedly taken notice of all these advancements in the field. These developments have propelled them into a phase where they are willingly spearheading efforts to thoroughly explore hydrogen fuel cell technology and implement essential measures to drive its progress in the days ahead.
