In appreciation to the successful association, Anand Mahindra, Chairman, Mahindra & Mahindra, tweeted, "Nairobi, Kenya. We're delighted to be a part of the Police Service team. The 'Beast' under the bonnet of the Scorpio is at their service."

Speaking about the design, the pick-up is based on the current-generation Scorpio with a bold-looking front-end. This includes the muscular radiator grille, dual-beam headlights and integrated LED daytime running lights.

To this, the Police fleet of vehicles features also features a large bumper protector, a winch and a tow hook to keep the vehicles going at all times. This will also help protect the occupants inside in case of a crash as well.

The interiors of the special purpose vehicle will remain the same as the standard Scorpio pick-up. However, it will feature a couple of equipment and ports to support like CB Radio and more. Overall, the interiors will look familiar to the current-gen Scorpio.

He further added that his company's distributor in Mozambique, Maputo got the KUV100 arranged for the Pope's Feed the Project and it was a day of great privilege and honour for Mahindra — here are more details.
