Tata Motors has launched the new BS IV-ready medium and heavy duty trucks with ‘exhaust gas recirculation’ (EGR) and ‘selective catalytic reduction’ (SCR) technologies in Tamil Nadu.

Rajesh Kaul, Head (Sales and Marketing), Medium and Heavy Commercial Vehicles (MHCV), Tata Motors, said the company has perfected both technologies for its wider range of commercial vehicles from SCVs to HCVs (as per technical suitability) to meet the recently implemented emission standards.

“SCR technology allows optimal engine combustion temperatures for better power, performance and fuel efficiency, is globally proven while EGR is a relatively low cost, simple and easy to integrate solution. SCR is superior and used in long haul, while the EGR is used for short distances,” he saidd.

As part of the launch, the company organised ‘Truck World’, showcasing over 20 models of its BS IV compliant trucks in Salem. It is aimed at giving transporters an opportunity to see all the models under one roof.

“All application-based solutions are provided, we have a fully equipped training van with simulator, so one can get the feel of driving through difficult terrains and different climatic zones,” a company spokesperson said.

Tata Motors market share in the MHCV segment is 55 per cent (pan India), but lower at around 31 per cent in the southern parts of the country.
