Supply chain: Mahindra & Mahindra XUV400 (India)

The XUV400 is a C-segment crossover SUV manufactured and sold by Mahindra & Mahindra (Mahindra) of India since January 2023. It is a BEV built on "MESMA (Mahindra Electric Scalable and Modular Architecture)," a dedicated EV platform developed in-house, and is produced at the company's Nashik plant in India.

For parts procurement, the traction motor and battery management system (BMS) are sourced from Valeo India; the battery cooling chiller from TACO Air (part of the Tata Group); displays from Visteon; head lamps and rear lamps from UNO Minda, a major Indian parts supplier; steering systems from JTEKT; and body structure components such as subframes, upper control arms, and front members from ALF Engineering, a manufacturer of body and chassis parts. The company utilizes not only major local Indian suppliers but also global Tier 1 suppliers.

Statistics

German production falls by 14.5% in May: While Tesla increases output driven by robust EV demand, overall production sees a sharp decline due to two fewer working days compared to the same month last year, compounded by a drop in overseas orders and exports.
