The MG Majestor has secured a place in the Guinness World Records by single-handedly pulling a train weighing 406.4 tonnes. This is a significant achievement not only for JSW MG Motor India but also for the global automotive industry.
JSW MG Motor India’s new flagship SUV, the Majestor, has accomplished a feat that has stunned everyone. This powerful SUV pulled an entire train weighing 406.4 tonnes through the valleys of Jammu and Kashmir, setting a new world record. The SUV is scheduled to launch in the Indian market on April 20. Let’s take a closer look at this remarkable achievement.
How the Record Was Achieved
During the challenge, the MG Majestor towed a fully loaded train for approximately 300 feet. The train included a massive WAG-9HC locomotive along with passenger and guard coaches.
The Guinness World Records had set a minimum benchmark of 400 tonnes over a distance of 100 feet. The Majestor not only met but exceeded this requirement with ease.
Notably, the record was achieved using a standard production model, with no modifications or additional fittings. This means the same SUV will be available to customers in showrooms.
