Commercial vehicle major, Ashok Leyland is the first company in the country to receive the On Board Diagnostic (OBD) II certification for BS IV-compliant commercial vehicle engines for Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR), Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) and CNG technologies. The entire process from start to certification was completed in a record time.
OBD II certification will be a legislative mandate from April 01, 2013 as part of the BS IV regulations on all commercial vehicles that have come into force.
OBD is a system that detects failures that adversely affect emissions and illuminates a dashboard light known as the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) to warn the driver of the fault. The OBD aids diagnosis and repair of complex electronic engine controls, helps keep emissions low by early identification of controls that need repair, is a life-long solution for the vehicle while from an industry perspective encourages the design of durable emission control systems.
