Mahindra Navistar Trucks - What's New?

I saw the Mahindra Navistar Trucks advertisement. The ad says that the new Trucks are changing the Indian Truck schene. The looks of the Navistar are better than the TATA trucks for sure; but do they also have innovations on the engine side? The official website talks about MAXFORCE engines and I've absolutely no clue what's special about them. However, I'm curious to know a bit more about these engines. By the way, engine specifications are as follows -

Key Specifications
Specifications:6.12 TCA
Emission Compliance:BS IIICompliant *
Configuration:6 Cylinder, In line
Valves/Cylinder:4
Displacement (cc):7118
Bore (mm):105
Stroke (mm):137
Combustion System: Direct Injection
Injection System:VE Mechanical
Aspiration:Turbo Intercooler
Max Power Output Kw (hp) @ rpm:157 (210) @2200
Peak Torque N-m @rpm:880@1400
Compression Ratio:16.1:1

The bottom line - are Navistar trucks better than other trucks in Indian markets? What's your take?

    the first improvisation which they have made on the engine side is that the engine is a 6-cylinder engine. Tata ace runs only on a single-cylinder engine

    navistar sounds to be better though, because now even ashok leyland has come up with a similar looking truck

    Ya Zaveri is right Mahindra had upgraded their engine and bought some powerful engine having 6-cylinder in it. These trucks are some kind of monster truck!!

    Talking about Mahindra, an Indian business has declared several years ago that it was going to deliver its small, diesel pickup to the U.S. However, it now appears that it is not going to occur. Article resource: #-Link-Snipped-#

    The_Big_K I think Mahindra had been very good in surprising the auto world as Mahindra had given new look to truck with a powerful engine similarly in the way as he had given the sizzling SUV which almost shake the entire auto world by its look demand and awards which is #-Link-Snipped-#, which was declared as the car of the year.
