Eicher gets BS-VI certification for CNG engine from ICAT

Eicher Trucks & Buses, part of VE Commercial Vehicles Ltd, today said it has received BS-VI certification for a heavy duty CNG engine from International Centre for Automotive Technology (ICAT).

The successful completion of the compliance test much ahead of the official implementation date of April 1, 2020 further strengthens the company's position as a future ready player, VE Commercial Vehicles (VECV) said in a statement.

The development also takes VECV's green profitability commitment a step ahead, it added.

Commenting on the development, VECV MD & CEO Vinod Aggarwal said, "We have already been producing Euro-VI compliant engines for Volvo Group and used that expertise in developing a CNG BS-VI solution, much ahead of the industry norms."
Aggarwal further said, "Going forward, we are confident of introducing this as a robust and competitive solution for the end customers."
