Here we discuss discontinuing of the diesel engine and is it worth buying a new diesel engine car in BS6 generation.
Now, most of the manufacturers are introducing their new electric models into the automobile markets. At the end of 2030 Electric Vehicle, production will be a good amount. So IC engine production will be down in the markets, but it will not be discontinued. For example, some automobile manufactures like Volkswagen, Maruti Suzuki are forced to discontinue their diesel engine production because of the huge price variations. So in a BS6 diesel engines are only worth it when you want to drive in 2000 to 3000kms per day.
Discontinuation of diesel engines are based upon the BS6 pollution norms by the Bharat stage emission standards (BSES) regulated by Indian government. Why are they discontinued? See if they want to continue their diesel engines. The 1st stage to last stage of manufacturing and productions should be reschedule them. All the parts of the engines from a air filter to the catalytic converter should obey the BS6 norms. Changing all the parts or upgrading all the parts will reflect to price variations. huge losses will affect. When they introduce into the markets. So they no have any option for continuing their CI engines.We know that FI technology is mandatory for all BS6 automobiles that is also one of the reason behind this norms.
By senses calculation find that over pollution are leaded more deaths in India. While this norms helps in bringing down pollution level but invariably result in increased vehicle cost due to the improved technology and high fuel prices. As comparing to Europe emission standard EURO 6. The BS5 skipped and BS6 where implemented on 1 April 2020. Euro6 and BS6 have same emission standards. But Europe has also upgraded their Euro 6 in September 2015. By this act Indian supreme court has banned the sales and registration of the motor vehicles which is in BS4 from 1 April 2020. Public oil marketing companies decided to bring forward the BS6 fuels also.
