Anand Mahindra, the Chairman of Mahindra Group, has uploaded a video on his Twitter account demonstrating how the all-new Scorpio-N is made at the company’s state-of-the-art Chakan Facility in Pune, Maharashtra.
The video, which has gone viral on the internet, shows the Chakan facility, which the business claims has world-class production capabilities and cutting-edge technology, as well as the procedure by which the brand’s latest SUV Scorpio-N is built. Mahindra also has plants at Zaheerabad, Haridwar, Nashik, and Kandivali.
In addition to producing passenger cars, Mahindra also manufactures motorcycles, commercial vehicles, pickup trucks, light commercial vehicles, heavy commercial vehicles, and pickup trucks under its own brand and as the Classic Legends brand, a subsidiary of the Mahindra Group that has brought back Yezdi, Jawa, and BSA Motorcycles, three of the original two-wheeler brands. It’s interesting to note that Mahindra is a conglomerate with interests in many other industries, with the automotive industry being one of its most lucrative.
Mahindra has the most sales of any tractor manufacturer worldwide.
The 700-acre Chakan facility of a domestic manufacturer has a 3,00,000-vehicle manufacturing capacity that, according to the firm, may be increased in response to demand. This facility produces commercial trucks in addition to the Scorpio-N, ranging from 0.75-tonne light commercial vehicles to 49-tonne Navistar trucks.
The corporation claims that more than 1,000 people are employed in this plant, despite the fact that robots handle the majority of the output. However, the Chakan factory of Mahindra does not produce either tractors or motorcycles.
The manufacturing video for the Scorpio-N demonstrates the sheet metal stamping process used to create the SUV’s body as well as the robots that assist in joining these frames using pre-made jigs before spot welding is used to create the exoskeleton.
After the exoskeleton of the SUV has been built, the entire body is subjected to various chemical pools for surface treatment and ionisation before surface preparation, which is primarily done by robots. After this stage, robots continue painting the SUV’s body in layers with some aid from certain humans who take over the robots’ hard-to-reach portions to finish the painting operation.
The exoskeleton is then attached to the surface-coated ladder-frame chassis, drivetrain, and suspension parts of the SUV. Interior furnishings and electrical systems are applied like meat on bones when the ladder structure and SUV body are united.
