💎💎Bharat Stage VI (BS VI) is an emission standard that will induce technology in the vehicles to reduce pollutant emissions.-Acumenias
💎💎The vehicles will mandatorily include On board Diagnostics (OBD), which will monitor the pollution caused by the vehicle in real time.-Acumenias
💎💎NOx emission will come down by approximately 25% for the petrol engine and 68% for the diesel engines.
The PM emission will see a substantial decrease of 80% in diesel engines.-Acumenias
💎💎Though BS VI is in lines with Euro VI norm, it overcomes the drawback in the Euro VI norm that allows emission of higher PM (particulate matter) in diesel engines.
