Global Vehicles U.S.A., Inc., based in Alpharetta, Ga., was established in 1999 with the goal of bringing the hidden gems of the world's auto business to American consumers. Initial achievement of this goal is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2009 with the launch of trucks produced by Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd., one of the largest industrial firms in India.
Global Vehicles (www.mahindrana.com) is the exclusive importer and distributor in the United States of motor vehicles produced by the automotive arm of the Mahindra Group (www.mahindra.com), a $6-billion plus diverse conglomerate.
The initial offerings will be a range of two- and four-door pickup trucks powered by clean-burning-diesel engines, featuring the same state-of-the-art technology found in today's diesels offered by Mercedes-Benz and BMW, which can be purchased in two- and four-wheel-drive versions. Other features will include standard six-speed automatic transmission, two- and four-wheel-drive variants, best-in-class cargo capacity and best-in-class bed length (two door).
A comprehensive dealer organization, numbering more than 325 in early 2009, will sell and service Mahindra trucks and future products (which is expected to include an SUV about a year after the launch of the pickup trucks). The dealer organization, continuously evolving, will mean a Mahindra owner can go virtually anywhere in the U.S. without fear of being beyond the Mahindra network and it will mean Mahindra trucks are available to the widest audience.
John Perez, company founder and CEO with years of experience in the business, leads a Global Vehicles staff combining veterans of the U.S. automotive industry with young, innovative thinkers from other disciplines.
