Daimler India Commercial Vehicles (DICV) has announced that its above 9- to 49-tonne trucks in the current portfolio will now be available as Bharat Stage IV variants across the country. With its new range of buses set for market launch in September 2015, DICV is also offering the Bharat Stage IV variant for school and staff applications in the front engine 9T bus product range.

DICV says it will meet the BS IV norms using the system derived from Daimler’s BlueTec technology proven in many markets over a decade. DICV has tested this technology in Indian operating conditions for over a million kilometres before offering to customers. Apart from reducing toxic gas levels within the proposed Bharat Stage IV norms,  the trucks and buses  will also provide better fuel economy to customers, the company claims.

Erich Nesselhauf, MD and CEO, DICV, 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.”

Markus Villinger, MD, Daimler Buses India, added, “As an 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.”
