Mahindra bags order for 35,000 Scorpio Pik Up from Indonesia
Mahindra Scorpio Pik Ups are manufactured at the company’s Nashik plant for global markets; powered by reliable 2.2-litre turbo-diesel engine with 6-speed manual transmission.
Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) will supply 35,000 units of Scorpio Pik Up single-cab to Agrinas Pangan Nusantara, an Indonesian state-owned enterprise, before the end of this year. The latest and largest export order comes from the country’s Koperasi (Cooperatives) for first-mile aggregation of farm goods and play a key role in enhancing logistics and rural economy.
Under this partnership, Mahindra and Agrinas Pangan Nusantara will work together to equip Koperasi with robust, reliable pickup trucks to ensure effective and seamless flow of fresh supplies from farmers directly to the marketplace, thereby bridging the gap between producer and consumer. This collaboration aims to enhance rural logistics and enable villages to become independent centers of economic growth.

They are popular in countries such as Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, Indonesia, and also in South American nations, to name a few.
