The success of the implementation of India's Bharat Stage IV
emission legislation (Euro IV equivalent) has been called into
question by claims that compliant trucks or buses will not be
available until July 2010.
The new regulations came into force on 1 April 2010, as the
country's oil sector scrambled to upgrade its network to supply
sufficient quality diesel fuel.
S P Singh, a spokesperson for theIndian Federation of
Transportation Research and Training, said: "To date not a single
truck or bus has been made available at retail dealers of the
commercial vehicle manufacturers. Even authorized commercial
vehicle dealers in cities like Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Ahmedabad,
Delhi, Noida, Gurgaon don't have any price list, technical details
and inventory relating to goods carriages/trucks and buses
complying with Euro-IV emission norms, and the implementation of
Euro-IV for heavy-duty trucks and buses will be done from July 2010
only."
