VE Commercial Vehicles (VECV) is banking on system integration as an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). Capitalising on the capabilities of the sister concern VE Powertrain (VEPT) plant to deliver its BSVI product range, the company has long announced that it is BSVI ready. The feat was attained with the BSVI module integration from the sister concern VEPT plant commissioned in July 2013 at Pithampur, in Madhya Pradesh. With a current capacity of manufacturing 75,000 units of the five and eight-litre engines, the latter is reckoned as the hub for meeting the medium-duty automotive engine requirements of Volvo Group globally, including at VECV. An estimated 1,20,000 Euro6 base engines have been manufactured at the plant with claims of the engine technology tested for over 5.6 million kilometres. The plant mirrors the Volvo Powertrain assembly plant in Sweden with its ability to manufacture Euro6 engine units. It is noteworthy that the base engines for Euro6 requirement of the Volvo Group are being supplied to their Venissieux plant, in France. The platform on adaption doubles up as the Euro3 to Euro5 engines requirements of the company globally.
