Mahindra utes clock up million-kilometre milestone
A fleet of Mahindra Pik-Up utes are among the hardest working vehicles in Australia. Newcastle-based Valley Express, a professional courier service that specialises in working with the Australian mining industry, has been recognised by Mahindra this week for its loyalty after one of its Pik-Up utes recently clocked up more than a million kilometres. Valley Express initially purchased five Mahindra Pik-Ups in 2021 to deliver equipment across the country, with the remaining four others also close to approaching the seven-figure milestone. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. The freight company was so impressed by the reliability of the utes that it added another two more last year. "We have been really pleased with the performance of the Mahindra Pik-Up ute," the Valley Express director Megan Hinds told CarExpert. "The value for money is what attracted us to them in the first place. Essentially we can get two of these utes for the price of one well-known alternative. "And since we've had them, they have proven to be extremely reliable which is critical for our business." Valley Express labels itself as an 'urgent' freight company that assists with delivering anything from a small satchel to heavy equipment for breakdown repairs. Its Mahindra Pik-Ups have travelled across the country from their Newcastle base, as far afield as Alice Springs, Far North Queensland and Western Australia. "Each car covers approximately 5000-7000 kilometres a week, or around 250,000km a year, and they are on the road 24 hours a day, seven days a week," added Hinds. Each Pik-Up is fully serviced weekly by Hunter Valley Mahindra in Rutherford. "We have had to do a bit of maintenance with them over that time, and replaced the gearbox on each of them every 250,000km or so," said Hinds. "But that has been more of a preventative measure, other than general wear and tear and consumables like tyres and brakes. We haven't had a vehicle off the road or let us down on the job. "They are all still running the original engine, with the same fuel-injectors, turbochargers, alternators and power steering pumps." Mahindra Automotive's Shivank Bargoti visited Valley Express earlier this week to recognise the longevity milestone of the company's vehicles, and to present Hinds and her team with a series of million-kilometres plaques for the utes. "Valley Express has been a loyal Mahindra customer for years, and their million-kilometre fleet highlights what the Pik-Up was built for – dependable performance at exceptional value," said Bargoti. "This kind of longevity doesn't happen by accident. It's what makes Mahindra stand out in the real working world."

New rules for scooter riders coming to Denver after unanimous city council vote
DENVER (KDVR) — New rules are on the way for how to use scooters in Denver, including new technology to try and prevent rider injuries. The Denver City Council voted unanimously Monday night to crack down on sidewalk riding and leaving scooters anywhere in the city. Denver among first cities to launch Lime's newest vehicle option: LimeGlider 'Today we take a major step forward here in Denver for public safety, accessibility and transportation innovation,' said District 10 City Councilperson Chris Hinds. Hinds co-sponsored the proposal that passed unanimously with all 12 yes votes. Scooters will soon be required to have a sidewalk detection technology, shutting them off if the rider is not in the street or a bike lane. Denver Health said that in 2024, it saw nearly 2,000 scooter-related patient encounters come into the emergency department or urgent care centers, most commonly broken bones, cuts and concussions. Hinds says their goal is to cut into that number. 'This legislation is about more than scooters and bikes, it's about saving lives, ensuring dignity for all pedestrians and setting national standards for responsible micro mobility,' said Hinds. Denver's Department of Transportation and Infrastructure said it has already started to test that detection technology, but has no results to share yet. The proposal also mandates that riders park scooters in designated zones, which DOTI has also been testing near Union Station. A quick compliance test for riders is also required before using a scooter for the first time. Search continues for missing 64-year-old man in Conejos County, last seen in April Councilperson Sarah Parady co-sponsored the proposal with Hinds and says residents hope it's only the first step in improving safety. 'I also have heard loud and clear from communities that probably the best thing we could do to improve the safety of these devices is just to continue to improve the safety of the actual streets, the bike lanes, the built-in environment,' said Parady. 'But in the absence of infinite money to do that, I think this bill will help a lot.' The new parking requirements aren't slated to go into effect until 2027, while the rest of the new rules will begin next year. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
