Mumbai - Commercial vehicle maker Daimler India commenced production of BS-VI-compliant heavy duty engines with the first powertrain coming out of its Chennai facility on Wednesday.

Daimler India Commercial Vehicles, the domestic arm of the German auto major Daimler AG, had received certification for BS-VI engines in July.

Engines production from the Oragadam plant comes not only before the April 2020 deadline for new emission technology to kick in but also ahead of its own planned schedule, the company said.
