Hindustan Motors upgrading vehicles for Bharat Stage IV


Our Bureau

Mumbai, Aug. 6 Hindustan Motors is working on upgrading its vehicles for Bharat Stage IV compliance.

Mr Ravi Santhanam, Managing Director, Hindustan Motors Ltd, said the newly launched mini-truck Winner is BS IV-compliant.

He was speaking on the sidelines of the flagging off of Mitsubishi-sponsored ‘The Great Driving Challenge’.

He said that BS IV compliance of CNG version of the Ambassador is currently being verified. Major cities will move to the emission standard BS IV in 2010.

Mr Santhanam said the CNG version of the one-tonne truck Winner will soon be commercially launched in Delhi. Winner has been launched in seven cities.

“It will take a few months for Winner to establish itself. Once Winner establishes in the market, we will launch another mini truck.

“This may take 18-24 months,” he said.

To launch new car

Mr Santhanam said the company will launch a ‘high performance car’ from Mitsubishi within six to eight months. Hindustan Motors assembles and markets Mitsubishi Motors’ cars in India.

“The car will initially be launched as a completely built unit,” he said.

The upcoming model is rumoured to be Evo X, a sporty compact from Mitsubishi.

Mr Santhanam said that ancillary units in Chennai offer huge scope for localisation of Mitsubishi models.
