Sharda Motor and Eberspaecher will each own 50% of the new joint venture, Eberspaecher Sharda Exhaust Technology. 

“Our customers will benefit from this partnership because they will gain local market expertise coupled with our global technology and production know-how – for significantly reduced emissions from long-distance and distribution traffic in India,” said Eberspaecher Exhaust Technology COO, Thomas Waldhier.

In future, exhaust aftertreatment technology meeting the new emission standard Bharat Stage VI will be manufactured at several locations. This represents a leap from the previous Bharat Stage IV standard and requires more complex emission control solutions.

The standard will enter into force in mid-2020 and will be in line with the Euro 6 standard in Europe. For the initial start of production two new technology plants will be launched, one in the City of Pune and the other in Northern India. The first exhaust systems will be manufactured in the second half of 2019.
