BharatBenz gets its whole range ready with Bharat Stage IV

Daimler India Commercial Vehicles Private Limited, a 100% fully owned subsidiary of Daimler AG, Stuttgart, Germany, today made an announcement that its entire range of above 9 to 49 tonne trucks in current portfolio will now be available in Bharat Stage IV variant across India. With its new range of buses set for market launch in September 2015, DICV is also offering the Bharat Stage IV variant for the school and staff applications in the front engine 9T bus product range.

In alignment with the governmental emission regulations, DICV will meet the norms using system derived from Bluetec technology proven in Daimler Vehicles in many markets over a decade. DICV has tested this technology in Indian operating conditions for over a million kilometers before offering to customers. Apart from meeting the stringent emission regulations by reducing toxic gas levels within the proposed Bharat Stage IV norms, the trucks and buses will also provide better fuel economy to customers.

Mr. Erich Nesselhauf who is the Managing Director and CEO at Daimler India Commercial Vehicles said,

We are ready with our entire range of trucks adhering to Bharat Stage IV norms to capture a larger market share. In India, pollution has been a rising concern and moving to Bharat Stage IV across the country has been the need of the hour. Our access to the worldwide Daimler technology pool helped us to cut time and cost to implement this in a fast and efficient manner.

Mr. Markus Villinger who is the Managing Director of Daimler Buses India said,

As increasing number of cities are moving towards BS IV norms and with growing environmental concerns, we are committed to bringing the most eco-friendly transportation solutions to the Indian bus market going forward.
