Is the Mahindra Supro really a ‘proper’ van, or just a glorified utility vehicle?

It's a van just as the Suzuki Every or Daihatsu Hijet is a van. But small and still fulfilling the core van functions.

It’s more of a jack of all trades. It's not a full van, but it's not exactly a basic utility vehicle. It fills a niche.

It’s a budget option, trying to be everything to everyone, let’s be real. But that doesn’t make it a proper van in my book.
Is the Supro CNG payload sufficient for most small business needs?
27 December 2024 10:40
When you have a small grocery delivery business like mine, the 750 kg payload is plenty. I don’t often max it out, but the compact size is perfect for squeezing through tight city streets and squeezing into small parking spaces. It's ideal for my needs.

For my construction supply business, it is a bit limiting. For larger orders I often have to make multiple trips and this eats into my profits. If it were truly versatile, I wish it had at least 1 ton capacity.

The payload is perfect as a florist. This allows me to carry a good amount of flowers and arrangements without the fear of them being damaged. And the lower capacity actually helps me from overloading and keeping my products safe.

I have a small courier service and the 750 kg capacity is usually ok. But in the peak season, like Diwali, I have a problem of less space. It's a trade off between capacity and the vehicle's agility in traffic.

For me, it's a bit of a squeeze for my catering business. I can do most orders, but for bigger events I have to make multiple trips or rent a bigger vehicle. It works but not too good for expansion.

I believe this is a sweet spot for many small businesses. In other words, it’s enough capacity to be useful without being overkill. Most urban delivery needs are made up for by the fuel efficiency you get with this size.

I deliver home appliances and the payload is sufficient for most deliveries. For larger items, such as refrigerators, that can be a little difficult. They’ve forced me to be more creative with loading and scheduling.
Is the Mahindra Supro Minitruck CNG a 'profit truck' for small businesses?
27 December 2024 10:39
Absolutely! I’ve had the Supro CNG for my vegetable delivery business for over a year and it’s been a game changer. The fuel costs are way lower than my old diesel truck, I’m saving a ton each month. And I have been pleasantly surprised with the low maintenance.
Is the Mahindra Supro Minitruck CNG a 'profit truck' for small businesses?

It's a mixed bag, honestly. The CNG is cheaper to run, sure, but I’ve had power issues when fully loaded. It has trouble on inclines sometimes, which may not work out for neighborhoods featuring hills. On flat city routes it's ok, but not all terrain.

I’d say that’s kind of a case by case thing. It's really great for short urban routes. However, if you’re going for longer hauls or heavy loads, you may want to consider other options. The initial cost is also higher than some competitors, so you’ll need to weigh that against your own needs.

For a fleet owner, the Supro CNG is quite profitable. The main thing is to maintain your car properly, and to train your drivers. It can definitely boost your bottom line if you take care of it and use it correctly. It’s also a plus for lower emissions to get certain contracts.

Mine have just given me nothing but headaches. Breakdowns too often, poor after sales service and difficulty finding CNG stations in some areas. It was far from profitable for me, maybe I got a lemon. If you ask me, stick with tried and tested options.

For my courier service it’s been a decent performer. Not amazing, but reliable. The tax benefits and lower running costs of CNG are what give you the real profit. Just ensure you have good CNG infrastructure in your area before you commit.

27 December 2024 10:39
I think calling it a 'profit truck' is a little much. It's a good vehicle, but not a magical money making machine. But, to see real profits, you still need to run your business efficiently. The truck is nothing more than a tool.
How does the Supro CNG perform in the real world in crowded city conditions next to electric alternatives?
27 December 2024 10:39
I’ve driven both and the Supro CNG is a breeze in tight spots compared to the BNG. It has lighter steering and impressive turning radius. Sometimes fully loaded, electric vehicles can be a bit heavy.
How does the Supro CNG perform in the real world in crowded city conditions next to electric alternatives?
27 December 2024 10:39
Electric all the way to power your city! It’s also way easier to zip through traffic due to the instant torque. It’s also cleaner (no emissions, less noise) for the neighborhood and the driver. By contrast the Supro CNG feels a bit sluggish.

There are many factors, it really depends on the infrastructure. The Supro is great in cities where CNG networks are good. More time on the road means quick refueling. If you have access to fast charging for electrics, though, that could be better in the long run.
