Mahindra and Mahindra on Friday said it has no plans of launching the Thar in Australia but it will give FCA (Fiat Chrysler Automobiles) three month notice if it plans to do so
Mahindra
CarAdvice reports Jeep has begun legal proceedings in the Federal Court of Australia. Lawyers for both companies were present to argue their cases. Jeep s lawyer informed the court that Mahindra advertised locally that the vehicle was coming to Australia and created an expression of interest page. Those who indicated interest were sent an email stating Mahindra will be in contact with them as the Thar s launch date gets closer. No launch date was provided, however.
Mahindra has since removed this webpage but still retains consumer data. Meanwhile, Mahindra argued before the court that the Thar has been imported into Australia for testing for homologation but sales are not happening just yet. Test mules have already been spotted on Australian roads.
