Tier-1 major Uno Minda has introduced a range of automotive filters, consisting air filters, oil filters, and fuel filters in the Indian aftermarket for commercial vehicle applications. The company has collaborated with its long-standing Japanese partner Roki Japan – a leader in automotive filtration equipment – to introduce these high-quality products in the Indian aftermarket.
The range of Uno Minda’s commercial vehicle filters starts at Rs 121, and customers could buy the products online, or at retail stores.
The company claims that Roki-Uno Minda’s manufacturing processes meet the highest industry standards, and deploy advanced technologies, thereby producing long-lasting, and superior quality automotive filters. The latest Uno Minda filters claim to block even fine particles, thereby improving vehicle performance, and reducing wear and tear of engine components. The air filter, for instance, is designed to effectively safeguard the engine against impurities, whereas the fuel filter is designed to screen out dust and dirt particles and water content from the fuel which can have adverse effects on the fuel injection and engine components.
