Mahindra Blazo X 48 Haulage Price - Specifications & Features

The Blazo X 48 Haulage runs on an MPower 7.2-litre FuelSmart BS-VI diesel engine producing 280 HP and 1,050 Nm of torque. The MPower FuelSmart engine actively manages fuel injection based on load state, contributing to consistent consumption across varying highway conditions — relevant on a multi-axle rigid truck that alternates between fully loaded outward runs and lighter return legs across long corridors. 1,050 Nm of torque delivered across a broad working rpm range means the truck pulls cleanly under full load on highway gradients without demanding aggressive throttle input or repeated downshifts, reducing drivetrain stress on sustained loaded runs. The engine is paired with an Eaton 9-speed manual synchromesh gearbox. Nine ratios give the driver fine-grained control across the full speed and load range — from loaded low-speed work at loading yards and tight approach roads to efficient high-speed highway cruising on expressways and national highways.
The synchromesh design makes gear changes lighter and more precise than older crash gearbox configurations, reducing driver effort on long shifts covering 500–700 km. The clutch is a 395 mm diameter single plate dry friction push type with cushion ceramic liner and 4-inch clutch booster. The ceramic liner handles the heat generated by repeated heavy starts without degrading as rapidly as standard organic liners, extending clutch service life on high-frequency corridor operations.
GVW is 47,500 kg and the truck runs on 16 tyres. The 10×2 axle configuration distributes the gross vehicle weight across a wider tyre footprint than a standard 6 or 8 tyre rigid truck, reducing per-tyre load and extending tyre life on abrasive road surfaces — a meaningful running cost consideration for operators covering high annual kilometres where tyre replacement is a primary maintenance expense. The chassis is a ladder-type frame with a cross-section measuring 285 mm in length, 70 mm in width, and 8.5 mm in thickness — a heavy-duty structural specification rated for sustained loaded highway cycling over a standard ownership period. The 6,770 mm wheelbase delivers stable straight-line tracking at highway speeds, reducing driver correction inputs on open road sections and contributing to lower fatigue on long shifts. However, the long wheelbase requires experienced handling at loading yards, dock entries, and narrow approach roads — operators transitioning from shorter wheelbase platforms typically need a settling-in period before tight manoeuvres become instinctive.
Fuel tank capacity is 415 litres with a rated mileage of 3–3.5 kmpl. At 415 litres the Blazo X 48 Haulage carries one of the larger fuel tank capacities in the multi-axle rigid segment, covering approximately 1,200–1,450 km on a standard loaded highway run before requiring a fill. On major corridor runs such as Delhi–Mumbai or Kolkata–Chennai, this translates to one planned fuel stop or none at all, reducing halt time and improving schedule reliability. A separate 330-litre diesel tank is also fitted, giving the truck significant total fuel carrying capacity for extended runs on corridors where pump access may be inconsistent. The FuelSmart engine management system maintains consumption at the more efficient end of the rated range under standard highway operating conditions.
Front suspension uses parabolic leaf springs with shock absorbers. Rear suspension uses CLS (Composite Leaf Spring) suspension. Braking is handled by a full air S-cam dual circuit ABS system rated at 10 BAR. The parabolic front springs with shock absorbers provide better ride isolation than conventional multi-leaf setups, reducing cabin vibration on broken state highway surfaces and contributing to driver alertness over extended shifts. The CLS rear suspension is a composite leaf spring configuration that combines load-bearing capacity with improved road shock absorption compared to conventional steel multi-leaf setups — it reduces chassis fatigue on repeated loaded highway cycles and lowers unsprung weight, contributing marginally to fuel efficiency. The full air S-cam dual circuit ABS system at 10 BAR provides consistent, high-force stopping performance across varying load conditions. ABS on a 47,500 kg loaded multi-axle rigid truck prevents wheel lockup during emergency braking events, which is the primary cause of directional instability on wet or loose road surfaces at highway speeds. Gradeability is rated at 22%, adequate for the gradient profiles encountered on national highways and most state highway approaches, though operators running sustained steep ghat sections should verify site gradient against this figure.
Steering is hydraulic power assisted. Battery capacity is 120 Ah. Seating is D+1 configuration. Top speed is 60 km/h. Power steering reduces driver effort during low-speed loading yard manoeuvres and dock work, where the long wheelbase demands more steering input than a shorter platform. The 120 Ah battery handles standard electrical load across a full shift. D+1 seating is standard for haulage operations where a loading assistant or co-driver may travel with the vehicle on longer runs.
Ex-showroom price ranges from ₹48.12 lakh to ₹48.68 lakh. The Blazo X 48 Haulage is available in a single primary variant — the 10×2 CBC configuration — with on-road pricing including registration, road tax, and insurance typically adding ₹4–6 lakh to the ex-showroom figure depending on state. Primary applications include bulk cement and fly ash transport, steel and industrial goods haulage, construction materials movement, FMCG and packaged goods intercity distribution, and general long-haul freight on national highway corridors.
