Chennai, Sep 3 (TIWN) Commercial vehicles major Ashok Leyland Ltd, which claims that it is the first Indian original equipment manufacturer (OEM) to meet BS-VI emission norms for all its heavy duty trucks, will first seed its BS-VI compliant vehicles with fleet operators to get their feedback, a senior company official said on Tuesday.

Chief Technology Officer N. Saravanan also said the challenge is to get the required quality of fuel for BS-VI vehicles across the country.  “We will first seed the BS-VI with fleet operators and get their feedback. We are looking at some market pockets for this purpose,” he told reporters here.  From April 1, 2020, onwards all vehicles have to comply with the BS-VI emission norms.
