In the countdown to the nationwide introduction of the new BS-IV emissions standards on April 1 2017, BharatBenz is supporting the transition with more than 1,000 BS-IV trucks on Indian roads already.
The 1,000th BharatBenz BS-IV truck was handed over to the customer by Autobahn Trucking, which operates three BharatBenz dealerships as the brand’s exclusive dealer in Kerala. The state of Kerala had migrated even earlier to the BS-IV standard in November 2016 already. Also read: Tata Tigor Launched in India at Rs 4.70 Lakh, Ex-Showroom Delhi
DICV’s entire BharatBenz product range of trucks above 9 to 49 tonnes has been available as BS-IV variants since August 2015. By the end of March 2017, more than 1,000 BharatBenz BS-IV trucks have been delivered to customers and clocked up more than 200 lakh kilometres, as claimed by the company.
DICV has collected feedback from these early customers. BharatBenz claims that the customers appreciate the fact that BharatBenz BS-IV vehicles also accept BS-III fuel, if required.
The company has worked for more than a year to be fully ready for the transition on April 1, 2017 from product development through aftersales.
BharatBenz BS-IV vehicles meet the upgraded norms using a system based on SCR technology. DICV has tested this technology in Indian operating conditions for over a million kilometres before starting to roll it out to customers in 2015.
