Ashok Leyland rolled out the countrys first On Board Diagnostic (OBD-II) compliant vehicle powered by a BSIV engine and equipped with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology. Ashok Leyland was the first OEM to receive the OBD-II certification for BS IV-compliant commercial vehicle engines in SCR, EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) and CNG technologies. This is as per the legislation that came into effect from April 1, 2013 on all BSIV commercial vehicles above 3.5 tonnes GVW.
Speaking about the development, Vinod K Dasari, MD, Ashok Leyland, said, �This is a remarkable achievement of having completed the entire process of certification to final product rollout in record time and credit is due not only to our team but to our suppliers as well, who partnered us. With the introduction of stricter emission norms, there is a greater need for sophisticated emission control systems and technologies and OBD II will go a long way in improving the overall life and productivity of the vehicle and, at the end of the day, enhance our customers� profitability.�
