MOTORPAL to supply Indian automotive industry

Mechanical fuel injectors from the Czech company MOTORPAL will be fitted into Indian diesel engines used in lorries. Tens of thousands of mechanical fuel-injection units VERMi will be supplied by the Czech company to important lorry and bus manufacturer Ashok Leyland. MOTORPAL is already a long time supplier of fuel-injection systems in India, but the Czech company focused so far on generators or industrial engines.

A brand new Ashok Leyland engine, which was recently homologated, is complying with the most strict emission limits. The MOTORPAL company counted on tough environmental rules in the automotive industry and on time-proven and robust solution which is perfectly suitable for hard conditions in India—demanding climate and road traffic. MOTORPAL’s technological solution allows also for maintenance cost savings.
