The only Original Equipment Manufacturer to perhaps get an in-line pump-fed diesel engine to meet BSIII emission norms, Ashok Leyland has once again highlighted its long-term business agility by showcasing its BSVI technology. The company showcased the new, mid-NOx technology. Introducing iEGR technology to meet BSIV emission norms when the competition moved to SCR-based technology, Ashok Leyland has also announced the development of a new, modular platform in the interest of responding quicker to market requirements; to streamline manufacturing and to achieve a more efficient cost structure. Showcasing its BSVI technology soon after it announced to have become the first Indian OEM to get BSVI certification from Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI), Ashok Leyland has once again highlighted its ability to work closely with its suppliers to extend a superior ownership experience to its customers. Digitalising spares and service roughly two years ago, in the interest of tapping the cost of ownership that lay beyond the initial acquisition cost, Ashok Leyland, provided a rare insight into it’s ‘connected’ technology engineering. The company developed BSVI technology in a short span of three years. Stating that it is focused on developing (BSVI) technology that would suit the Indian operating conditions and Indian operator needs, Dr. N Saravanan, Chief Technology Officer, Ashok Leyland, mentioned that the notification for BSVI was issued in 2017.
