some more photos of "AXE" in israeli and indian hands!

notice the chevy badge in 2nd last photo?

note the different versions of "AXE" in these photos!

Parm, there seem to be two different vehicles in those pics. In the second pic (The one with the pinkish van in it) the vehicle has hubs on the two visible wheels while in the Axe pics the wheels have no hubs (I thikn they're called Freewheeling hubs). Apart from that the windscreen & bonnet are differnet too.

In fact, if you look at the picture below that one, the Axe is standing behind that vehicle & looks to be totally different to the Axe.

Here's a full report (source: [Mahindra’s AXE The New Army Vehicle “Desi Hummer”).

The article in this link is from Sept 2007. Was there any updates from Mahindra recently for us to get excited?

Ican also see a bow tie badge - or is it camouflage! just wondering but it looks real ugly. Axe looks much better.

As I am reading more and more, I am getting excited. Any more new news guys. It is going to be heaven for all the off road drive lover.

Came across a bunch of pics, thought of sharing them. Somebody did get to test ride this, some serious test ride..

The suspension set up

The dash, pretty bare.

Automatic transmission.

And the AXE in action..

The hard top one looks better than the top less one.

dinar · 7th December 2008, 18:09

Is this AXE 4wd or 2wd, the shaft is quit thin for it to be a drive shaft?please confirm.

sukiwa · 7th December 2008, 19:16

Noticed that the hard top version has doors from the Bolero. But overall, I like it and I hope they do launch a civilian version.
