Mahindra has announced that it will name its upcoming small commercial vehicle "Jeeto". Test mules of this vehicle, which has been codenamed P601, have been spotted on numerous occasions.

The Jeeto is expected to be used for last mile distribution of goods. Previous spy shots indicate that the Jeeto will get 12-inch wheels and dumbbell shaped headlights with integrated indicators. It carries its spare wheel on the right side, below the loading bay, while the battery is located on the left.
