Mahindra Two Wheelers, part of the $16.2-billion Mahindra Group, has received international patents for four of its technologies developed in India -- fuel gauge system, automatic ignition cut-off, distance to empty fuel system and engine immobilizer system.
The engine immobilizer system is an anti-theft solution, the distance to empty system along with the fuel gauge system helps the rider estimate the distance the vehicle will cover using the fuel remaining in the tank when it hits reserve and the automatic ignition cut-off intelligently saves fuel during vehicle idling conditions and the engine can be restarted with a blip of the throttle, according to a statement from the company.
Centuro, which was launched by Mahindra Two Wheelers in July this year, comes with some of these features. The bike features the fuel gauge system, the distance to empty system and the engine immobilizer system. The product was designed entirely in-house at the company's R&D centre in Pune, the statement said.
"The incorporation of these technologies into our range of two-wheelers differentiate us from our competitors and is creating significant consumer demand," said Viren Popli, executive vice-president, Mahindra Two Wheelers.
"At our R&D facility in Pune, we continue to focus on technology driven innovation for our two-wheelers. The internationally patented technologies, developed in-house, are a testimony to this effort," said P S Ashok, senior vice-president and head of R&D, Mahindra Two Wheelers.
