“Cummins Engines with SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) aftertreatment system has been pioneering clean air technologies in the country since their launch in the BS-IV era in April 2017. The vast experience Cummins has in the Indian market clubbed with proven engine and emissions technologies gives us an edge in the BS-VI regime where the entire diesel industry will be adopting that technology. Cummins is a leading technology partner and we are confident that we will be the enabler for the technological shift from BS-IV to BS-VI in a short span of time,” added Ram.

The company's says SCR technology allows engines to operate at a more optimal combustion temperature providing better fuel efficiency with lower NOx and particulate matter generation. For BS-VI, Cummins has added DPF and DOC aftertreatment technologies to achieve additional robustness and margins on particulate matter, hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen. The company says a number of patents have been filed during the development of BS-VI technologies, giving it a proven advantage over the competition.
