The lubricant company has especially worked to prepare multiple solutions including solutions for the Bharat Stage VI rollout on April 01, 2020. Beyond BSVI, the company has considered the transition to e-mobility while developing its next-generation product portfolio. Speaking to Auto Components India, Praveen Nagpal, Chief Technology Officer Shell Lubricants India, said, “The pace with which the transformation has happened is quite fast. We were still behind the global standard, and with BSIV and BSVI we are moving at par with the globe in terms of emission standards.” Nagpal cited the challenge on the hardware development side too. “The hardware needs to be optimized for the fuels. This is an integration of after-treatment devices that help in reducing particulate matter, NOx emissions and so on. Everything has to be integrated to ensure that we meet the new emission norms,” he explained. “You also need new lubricants that are compatible with these,” he added. The company has worked on developing the lubricant range to make it compatible with many of the after-treatment devices existing in the market. To Shell’s advantage, owing to the already existing Euro 6 emission norms in Europe, these lubricants are claimed to have already been validated. Said Nagpal, that the company is especially developing customized solutions for the Indian manufacturers with validations nearing completion.
