How we work:
1. Focus on new trends
a. Patented mCRD™ Technology: The Mahindra Common Rail Diesel Engines offer higher efficiency , are less complex and provide cleaner exhaust emission at lower costs.
b. Driverless Tractor Technology: Redefining the mechanization process for farmers with small acreage, globally.
c. Smart Eye Drive Technology: A cost competitive and highly accurate auto steering system.
d. Digisense: A smart technology solution enabling Mahindra tractor owners to track, receive alerts and monitor health of their tractors anytime and anywhere.
e. Trringo : India’s first digital platform to rent tractors and farm machineries empowering farmers to access technology on demand.
2. Refine the Design
a. Farm division is currently focusing on customizing solutions for consumers. Our testing facilities are the best in the world which many of our tests certified by NABL.
b. We ensure every step is carried out effectively, reducing manufacturing trials, experiments and evaluation time in new product development. Thus helping consumers reap the rewards of new technology faster.
c. The Homologation test facility at Fatigue Test Lab, for Roll-Over Protection Structure, is the only one amongst Indian OEMs to be certified by NABL – India, TUV Nord – Germany and VCA – UK.
3. Ties to Academia
Mahindra believes in fostering the need to rise above the ordinary in students to encourage thought innovations & breakthroughs. To underline this belief we have undertaken sponsorship of the Biological & Agricultural Engineering Department, College of Engineering in Kansas State University, USA.
Powertrain Development Center
Prototype Build
• Protocol, Build & Teardown
• Benchmarking
• Engine Preparation
Durability Validation
The Durability Lab plays a vital role In Engine Validation as per Customer Real World Usage Pattern by simulation of all duty cycle requirements.
Performance & Emission Validation
We perform Transient & Steady State Testing, for raw emissions, combustion analysis equipment, smoke meter, particulate measurement, conditioned air (temp/pressure/humidity). Our PTO testing lab is NABL accredited for tractor level tests of PTO power, fuel economy and cooling performance.
Mahindra Research Valley
Nestled in the sprawling 125acres Mahindra World City at Chennai, Mahindra Research Valley (MRV) is home to over 2500 engineers, designers and thinkers. Designed by renowned architect Charles Correa, and backed by an investment of over $150 Million dollars Mahindra Research Valley bears testimony to the Mahindra Group’s commitment, to technology-driven innovation.
Advance Labs at MRV
NVH Lab
At our state-of-the-art NVH facility at MRV we ensure that we deliver to meet both best-in-class NVH comfort for customer as well as customized market requirements. The Semi-anechoic chamber and engine dynamometer assist in NVH development during product development cycle by simulating most of the real world usage operating conditions.
Proto Machine Shop
Here machine parts, with high quality focus, are casted which are then validated through various applications by using them on the tractors. This process enables a better understanding with respect to the actual design as well as the quality and performance of the tractors.
Fatigue Test Lab
To assess the performance and strength, the farm equipment undergoes an accelerated test track condition under a simulated environment for optimum performance and quality. The Homologation test facility at Fatigue Test Lab, for Roll-Over Protection Structure, is the only one amongst Indian OEMs to be certified by NABL – India, TUV Nord – Germany and VCA – UK.
System Evaluation Lab
Our main focus here is to deliver new tractor products, post design verification and system level validation. The tractors undergo performance and durability test as per Mahindra, IS as well as ISO standards. Further, the lab focusses on new test methods development, failure simulations and CAE vs. physical co-relations conducted as per RWUP. The SEL has 15 tests accredited by NABL and the Hydraulic Performance Test has been accredited by VCA.
