Diesel City to promote clean fuel

New Delhi, Jan. 11

The auto industry is keen to work with the Government in cleaning up the environment. In an attempt to dispel myths and misconceptions surrounding diesel, the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers has introduced Diesel City at the Auto Expo. This initiative will provide an ambience to experience clean diesel technology. It was inaugurated by the Delhi Chief Minister, Ms Sheila Dixit. Expressing a close desire to work with the auto industry to speed up the implementation of new emission technologies, she said India should take a right step to lower the emission.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr Pawan Goenka, Head, Automotive Division, Mahindra and Vice-President, SIAM, said, "Contemporary diesel technologies have evolved the world over and are no longer the smoky or polluting. Modern diesels are clean, fuel-efficient and have much lower emissions. The auto industry on its own part would be delighted to work with the Government in cleaning up the environment". Participating companies include Cummins India, Delphi TVS, Eicher, Ford, Mahindra & Mahindra, Mico Bosch, Skoda, Tata and Indian Oil. - Our Bureau
