Tata Motors completes BS6 Phase II transition
Tata Motors unveiled its RDE and E20-compliant BS6 Phase II line of passenger vehicles. Beyond compliance, Tata Motors has updated its range with additional features for its petrol, diesel, and CNG engine options. Additionally, Tata Motors has enhanced its standard warranty across the board from 2 Years/ 75,000 km to 3 Years/ 1 lakh km, providing a hassle-free ownership experience.
In addition to being evaluated in a lab setting on the MIDC, these engines are now being tested for emissions in more demanding real-world circumstances (Modified Indian Driving Cycle). These engines will also require some adjustments to the fuel systems, engine calibration, and rubber hoses to accommodate the more corrosive nature of ethanol in order to be E20 compliant.
Tata thinks there will always be a big market for diesel, thus the 1.5 diesel engine will stay in the Altroz and Nexon. The latter has also undergone improvements to the Revotorq diesel engine to improve performance. The 2.0 Multijet diesel in the Harrier and Safari, sourced from Stellantis, is thought to have already attained RDE compliance during its BS6 Phase I update.
Additionally, the Altroz and Punch now have engine start/stop capabilities, which will help them use less gasoline. This will be offered on all models of Tata's high-end hatchback and small SUV. Tata claims that the two models now have improved low-end driveability and better power delivery in lower ratios. The Tiago hatchback and Tigor small car now come with TPMS, another addition from Tata.
