Tata group auto major Telco yesterday said all vehicles manufactured by the company, including its range of heavy and medium commercial vehicles, would comply with Euro-II emission norms by April next year.
The Supreme Court had set the April 2000 deadline for passenger car manufacturers to meet the Euro-II norms, but did not set any time-frame for commercial vehicles. Commercial vehicles have to meet only the India-2000 norms, equivalent to Euro-I, by next April.
