Mahindra For Australia
|
||||
|
TMI Pacific Pty Ltd is a newly formed company that will import and distribute
Mahindra motor vehicles from early 2007.
The company is part of the Tynan Motor Group and is based in Sydney (NSW). Michael Tynan started in business with a jewellery shop in Kogarah (NSW) but he
was also keenly involved in rallying. During his ten years of rallying, he was
noticed by Mazda in Japan, who very soon had him into their cars. Within three
months, he was offered the Mazda franchise for the Sutherland Shire, which was
to be their first dealership in Australia! So it was November 1966 when Michael Tynan started Tynan Motors in a service
station in Sutherland (NSW). The Tynan Motors Group is still a family company, into its third generation
of family involvement. It is rated 74th in BRW Magazine Top 500 Family
Companies. The company employs well over 400 staff at six locations including
multi-franchise dealerships, service centres and a tyre centre. Today the group retails 10 automotive brands; Chrysler, Dodge,
Honda, Hyundai, Jeep, Kia, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Subaru and Suzuki.
"Although prices are yet to be set, we know we have to catch people's
attention with sharp pricing, to set a strong base for Mahindra in Australia. We
can't match the big, established outfits in advertising and marketing budgets,
so our vehicles and pricing will have to speak for themselves” said Michael Tynan. "The Mahindra Pik-up is just the first of what can soon build into an interesting
range of vehicles." Mahindra and Mahindra was been involved in manufacturing for 60 years. The company
has extensive business interests in India. Other automotive products include tractors
and an SUV, the Mahindra Scorpio. In co-operation with Renault, Mahindra produce the
little "Logan" in India. This basic car is manufactured in various locations around
the world. It is Renault's expression of an entry level light car for developing
markets (such as Eastern Europe, South America and India). If it were to come to
Australia from India, it will have the potential to be Australia's cheapest new
4-door sedan. | |||||
