Uncertainty over BS-VI fuel availability is a worry for commercial vehicle sector
Even as the auto industry prepares for BS-VI migration from next year, the commercial vehicle sector is battling with more uncertainties than other segments.
The emission control systems for particulate matter and NOx in diesel vehicles are more complex and expensive, while it is simpler for passenger vehicles due to petrol fuel. The complexity in BS-VI petrol vehicles is just one-tenth of that of diesel vehicles, which require more after-treatment processes in their engines.
CV players ready
Most of the CV players have announced their preparedness for BS-VI with the development of new or customised engines and trucks and for the new emission norms that will kick in from April 1, 2020.
