The Mahindra Pik Up platform is now available with a refrigeration unit

All these models have been developed locally, are assembled with the assistance of Mahindra’s Assembly Facility in KwaZulu-Natal and retain a full factory warranty. Based on the Pik Up S4 Chassis Cab, the new Refrigeration Unit has all the reliability and performance of the Pik Up range built in. This includes 103kW and 320Nm from the standard 2.2 litre mHawk turbodiesel engine delivered to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission. The Refrigeration Unit has a loading capability of 733 kilograms in its refrigerated box, which has an impressive 6 385-litre loading volume. The refrigerated box itself was designed to offer the best possible performance and is available in two versions, a Chiller with a maximum cooling ability of -5 degrees Centigrades, and a full Freezer unit with a maximum cooling ability of -20 degrees Centigrades. “By developing two options, we can cater to both the retail market with products such as meat, ice cream, and other chilled or frozen foods and the medical market, which needs much colder temperatures to transport vaccines and other medicines. “When we opened our local assembly facility in 2018, we emphasised that this not only strengthens our commitment to South Africa as our second home outside of India, but it allows us to adapt our vehicles to local needs and budgets,” says Rajesh Gupta, CEO of Mahindra South Africa. The Mahindra Pik Up Refrigeration Unit is available immediately from all dealers across the Mahindra network. Source: QuickPic
