In July 2012, Mahindra confirmed that have given up on selling diesel-powered pickup trucks in the United States. This is old news now. They now have opened a technical center in Troy, Michigan, near Detroit; the first tech center Mahindra has ever opened outside its home country of India.
According to the report, Mahindra has already employed 70 workers in Michigan and plans to have 100 employees in Troy within the next six to eight months.
