Available with rotary fuel pump and CRDI options, the engines will have four valves per cylinder and turbo charged with charge air cooling. The engines are of compact size which occupies less space per unit output. Euro IV-compliant for automotive application, flexi fuel option (diesel, CNG, LPG) with B10 life of 7,000 hours/ 250,000km are some of its salient features.

Cooper Corporation, a pioneering company which built India’s first diesel engine and a market leader in centrifugal castings, says its sales for the current fiscal are expected to cross Rs 300 crore.
