Flex fuel and electric to sit at the same table in CAFÉ 3: Nitin Gadkari
This will help restrain raw imports and vehicle emissions.
Although cafes norms have been distorted in favor of electric vehicles, the upcoming arrangements will take into account the contribution of flexible fuel and battery technologies to the new avatar. It refers to mixtures such as flexible fuel, ethanol and gasoline.
“The old café norms were an electrical center,” he said at the Meat round table meeting on Thursday. “New Café 3 norms will balance both electric and flexi fuel engines.”
A high -level meeting of high -level officials from the Ministry of Highways and the Ministry of Highways and the Ministry of Power was held on Wednesday to bore the norms.
At the beginning of this month, the Minister called on the issue with the stakeholders of the sector. A CAR’s CO2 emission is directly proportional to the amount of fuel it consumes. This means that some models may have higher emissions if there are fuel -saving vehicles in the manufacturer’s portfolio. These norms apply to the entire model range of a manufacturer, not individual models.
The industry said that a final decision of Gadkari will comply with the needs of the country, while the industry was divided into large and small cars under Café 3 norms.
Iz Despite the different lobbies working on it, we have to work for the benefit of the country considering the benefits of pollution, cost, import and agriculture. ”
Small cars do not have a separate standard under the current Café 2 norms in force until March 2027.
According to the current rules, the average emissions of all passenger vehicles sold by each manufacturer, including CNG, hybrids and electrical vehicles, should not be 113 grams of CO2 per kilometer per kilometer.
Vehicles in the local market are currently working on gasoline with a 20% ethanol mixture. Ethanol -mixed fuel helps to reduce the consumption of crude oil, while the low heating value of ethanol increases fuel consumption and thus emissions.
‘Preparing Euro VII norms’
According to Gadkari, at the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas on Russian technology, there are attempts to increase the heating value of the ethanol with gasoline. This said it would finally make 100% ethanol applicable in the country.
Answering a query about the tightening of emission norms, Gadkari said that when India decided to jump from BS-IV to BS-VI in 2020, there was too much resistance. “India’s emission norms can be compared with the world. Now Euro VII.
Commenting on the prohibition of end -of -life vehicles in the National Başkent region, Gadkari said, ıyla It should be handled by taking a legal position examined on this issue, but it is economical to convert a gasoline or diesel vehicle to CNG.
He also said that the Delhi government has the authority to make laws on the ban on gasoline diesel vehicle and that he took measures to eliminate concerns about the legality of the movement while keeping his public health in mind.
According to the National Green Court Order approved by the Supreme Court, diesel vehicles older than 15 years of age are not allowed in the national capital region (NCR).
