Auto maker Mahindra & Mahindrais looking to make the United States one of the largest export markets once it starts selling its vehicles there next year.

The company, which exported 9,000 units of Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs) and pick-ups across the globe last fiscal, is looking to better its performance this year.

"We will start exporting our Scorpio platform vehicle in the US markets by February-March 2010.
