The Furio is powered by a new MDI Tech diesel engine. It is claimed to be lightweight and low-friction as well as delivers high torque at low rpms. Additionally, the engine comes equipped with Mahindra's FuelSmart technology. It has multimode switches to optimize fuel consumption depending on the load and road conditions.

According to Mahindra, the Furio range of ICVs has been tested for over 17 lakh kilometers on various road surfaces. The truck has undergone over 1,000 performance tests and subjected to structural durability tests equivalent to 10 years of the vehicle's service life.
