Report-Looks like the Flexituff from Eicher-Polaris

As speculated earlier this year. Reports claimed an association with the U.S.-based Polaris Industries to create a new small vehicle that would target farmers, bakers and the small time agricultural industry in general. A twin-cab pickup that would carry produce and a MPV-like van to transport passengers would be the variants of this small vehicle, the report stated. These spied pictures we’re clicked by Indian Autos Blog reader Mr. Karan, capturing test on North Indian highways ahead of a launch expected to take place this year.

The test mule in question displays a tall body, and appears to be a lengthy comparative to the Tata Magic Iris. Clearly, the vehicle, which is reported to be called the Flexituff, will have a utilitarian design with emphasis on interior space and load carrying capacity.

A Greaves Cotton powered 600 cc diesel dynamo would power the Flexituff, with drive possibly going to the rear wheels. Eicher-Polaris will craft this dynamo to deliver about 25 km/l. A tube like built and usage of composite materials will result in slimmer and lighter version, with as much as 20 kg of plastic being used in the construction of this people carrier/load hauler. Production would take place at a new facility in Jaipur with prime sales target of 10,000-12,000 units/annum. Reports suggests that the project comes at an invest of INR 250 crore.
