: Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd is looking to enter the US market and has signed an agreement with independent distributor Global Vehicles USA Inc, a spokesman for the distributor said on Monday.
Mahindra plans to launch two vehicles, a pickup truck and a sports utility vehicle called the Scorpio, in the United States in 2008, said spokesman Tom Persons of Alpharetta, Georgia-based Global Vehicles.
"We are looking at pretty aggressive volumes," Persons said, but he declined to give a specific target.
He said Global Vehicles will announce more details in mid-April.
A Mahindra spokeswoman could not be immediately reached for comment. The company already sells different types of tractors in the United States.
Formed in 1945 to make Willys Jeeps in India, Mahindra has cornered nearly half the market for utility vehicles and is the world's No 4 tractor maker. But it is among the smaller automakers in the global market
