The Mahindra diesel-powered small pickup truck has finally been officially certified to be sold in the United States. The Indian pickup truck was originally intended to be on sale in America during 2010, but approval from the Environmental Protection Agency took longer than expected.

2011 Mahindra Diesel Pickup

John Perez, the CEO of Mahindra’s U.S. distributor, Global Vehicles USA, said in May that the certification process for the Mahindra diesel pickup was almost over and in about 30 days the company would be able start shipping vehicles to dealerships. Obviously something came up, but the good news for anyone who wants a pickup truck with a 1.3-ton hauling capacity and 30 mpg on the highway is that the Mahindra trucks have been approved for the 2011 model year, according to PickupTrucks.com.

The Mahindra pickup truck will use a 2.2-liter diesel engine, making it the only diesel pickup available smaller than the 3/4 ton full-sized pickups from Chevrolet, Dodge and Ford. Finally, a diesel pickup that can fit into a normal parking space.

Mahindra’s work certainly isn’t over. Beyond the pickup fans who are ready to buy a diesel engine in a small truck, sales might be tough. The company will have to convince truck buyers, many of whom rely on their vehicle for their livelihoods, to trust an Indian company with no reputation in the United States. The Mahindra pickup’s price tag in the low $20,000 range and high gas mileage should help though.
