Vanishing Point
Come October 1, 2019, all four-wheelers on sale in India will have to meet the new mandatory safety norms. The applicable crash tests require vehicles to be tested for full frontal impact at 48kmph, offset-frontal impact with a fixed deformable barrier at 56kmph and side impact with a mobile deformable barrier at 50kmph. To meet these crash test norms, several manufacturers need to seriously restructure their vehicles, or withdraw them. Further, from April 1, 2020, the new Bharat Stage VI (BS6) emission norms shall apply, and several engines (and vehicles) will become non-compliant. So, in the next year or so, we could be bidding goodbye to several models. Here is saying adios to them.
