Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd, part of the US$ 17.8 billion Mahindra Group, announced the launch of Mahindra DiGiSENSE, a revolutionary technology solution that connects Mahindra vehicles, tractors, trucks and construction equipment to the cloud, opening up a whole new dimension to the experience of vehicle ownership.

DiGiSENSE which is digitally enabled sensing, will be available across Mahindra’s breadth of mobility products from commercial and passenger vehicles to tractors and construction equipments. Its launch makes the company the first OEM in India to integrate its product line-up onto a cloud-based technology platform.
