be the first 3-Wheeler manufacturer in India to be completely BSVI ready with
our entire range of products. We had started our preparations for BSVI norms
well ahead of time and therefore today we are well placed for the transition
from BSIV to BSVI.
Speaking on the occasion, Saju Nair, EVP and Head of CV
Business, PVPL said, “The new BS VI Performance Range reinforces the company’s
leadership in innovation and technology for providing superior solutions for

turnaround time and at the same time our 42 months warranty and improved maintenance
intervals significantly reduces the cost for the customer.
Similarly, the Smart AF range is a benchmark for superior
pickup, NVH and urban driveability. Combined with assurance of low maintenance

adoption of BSVI range will help us maintain channel stocks much better and ensure
they have a smooth transition before the 01st April 2020 Deadline. In Diesel
