Volvo Penta wows to ‘keep it simple’ for Indian OEMs ahead of new emission regulations

Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology was first developed by Volvo Group in 2006. In 2011, Volvo Penta introduced the system for industrial off-road customers, further developing it in 2014. Today, Volvo Penta continues to meet tomorrow’s environmental demands, as the same technology will now be used to comply with the stringent BS (CEV/Trem) IV emission regulations, effective October 2020. For original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), this means no re-generation, easy installation, continuous optimized fuel consumption and low operating costs.

For the Indian market, the current emission legislations applicable for off road vehicles is BS (CEV) III from 2014, covering limited applications. Now, as announced by regulatory

authorities, BS (CEV/Trem) IV will be enforced from October 2020 and will cover most of the off-road applications.

With the introduction of BS (CEV/Trem) IV, all engine manufacturers are required to introduce after-treatment systems for engines between 129kW to 560kW. This, in turn, will put enormous demands on OEMs, forcing them to re-design their machines to install new engines and after-treatment systems.
