“Ashok Leyland has a legacy of technological innovations that has set the benchmark for the industry,” said Ashok Leyland chairman, Dheeraj Hinduja.
“Be it the in-line pump for BS-III or the iEGR for BS-IV, at Ashok Leyland, we have stayed ahead of the curve. We are the first OEM to get BS-VI certification for our complete range of heavy duty trucks. This will be introduced with the new Modular Vehicle Platform which will provide customised solutions.”
For his part, Ashok Leyland CTO, N Saravanan added: “We have effectively met the BS-VI emission limits through a combination of proven iEGR and a SCR system, while making minimal changes in the engine. We have been testing this new technology and have successfully covered over 5m kilometres of field running.”
Ashok Leyland today offers a range of trucks and buses – from intercity light commercial vehicles to 49-tonne trucks.
