The Hindu Business Line : Witzenmann to help develop solution for auto emission

The recent boom in automobile sector in India seems to have encouraged Witzenmann GmbH of Germany to enter the Indian auto market with its latest environment-friendly exhaust gas technology for diesel operated commercial vehicles.

The company plans to act as a development partner in the implementation of new legal guidelines for gas emission by the Indian Government.

The Witzenmann Group supports auto makers worldwide as a development partner to help develop the best solution for auto emission.

The company's Marketing Manager, Mr Martin Schnaufer, told Business Line here recently at the Bauma 2007 press conference that although a late starter, compared to many developed and developing countries, India had come out with strict legal guidelines against auto emission.

He said the exhaust gas standard Euro-4 is applicable throughout the European Union. Euro standard 5, the next stage, is on the brink of being adopted and would become effective from October 2009.

Mr Schnaufer said manufacturers and suppliers "who are quick to develop the best solution will gain essential market advantages". He felt it is advisable for auto manufacturers in India to carefully select suitable suppliers.
