JSW MG Motor India has revealed that its upcoming SUV, Majestor, has achieved a new Guinness World Record for the “Heaviest Train Pulled by an SUV on Rail.” This milestone surpasses a similar feat accomplished in 2016, when the Land Rover Discovery successfully pulled a 100-tonne train.
The Majestor SUV successfully towed a massive 406.4-tonne train over a distance of 300 feet on an operational railway track in Jammu & Kashmir. The record-breaking attempt took place on a secured section between Kakapora and Awantipora railway stations, exceeding the Guinness benchmark requirement of pulling 400 tonnes over 100 feet and setting a new global record.
