By showcasing BSVI CVs on a new modular platform, Ashok Leyland has highlighted a significant shift taking place in the CV landscape in India. By highlighting its efforts to drive modularisation, which primarily pertains to the chassis and the creation of common interfaces in connection, the CV maker has pointed at how regulations like BSVI are influencing the shift. Choosing to migrate one modular platform rather than three platforms and the many variants, Ashok Leyland has highlighted the way it has sought its BSVI journey in a low volume, high mix market. Empowering its customers to configure a medium or heavy-duty CV to his requirement, the company, according to Dr. N Saravanan, Chief Technology Officer, Ashok Leyland, has made it easier to customize products. Packaging the innovative BSVI Mid-NOx technology that combines iEGR and SCR technology, the new modular platform, will enable the company to further accelerate its export strategies by building CVs with different drive orientation (left and right). The new modular platform is also claimed to help the CV major nurture an ability to apply new technologies at a competitive cost; to incorporate higher manufacturing efficiency, and streamline various processes.
