EMISSION WARRANTY
Indian Scenario
Presentation to ACMA
13 April, 2000 SIAM
What is Emission Warranty ?
SIAM
Emission Warranty is the Warranty towards
Emission Performance of the vehicle when in
use . Hence, vehicle manufacturers take the
responsibility of the emission performance of
the vehicle after it leaves the Factory
Premises.This is based on the mileage or the
period of use which is similar to the existing
Product Warranty of the vehicle. SIAM
Why Emission Warranty ?
SIAM
CONTENTS:-
• Indian Scenario–Current Scenario–EPCA Report for Delhi to Hon’ble
Supreme Court–V M Lal Report for Mumbai to
High Court• SIAM’s proposal
SIAM
Status of Emission Warranty in India2-Stroke 2-Wheeler were projected as polluting
vehicles by various authorities.Catalytic Converter were used on 2-stroke 2-
wheelers to meet India 2000 emission norms.Use of Catalytic Converter on 2-stroke 2-wheelers
was not acceptable to authorities because of apprehension on life of Catalytic Converter.
Sixth report of EPCA mentions that 2-stroke 2-wheelers should be registered if emission performance of Catalytic Converter is established.
SIAM
Status of Emission WarrantyCSE mentioned that emission durability of catalytic
converter was required under emission warranty.SIAM offered emission warranty of 30,000 km for
catalytic converter fitted 2-stroke 2-wheelers as a proactive step in January 2000
On May 2000, Chairman, EPCA requested SIAM to extend emission warranty for four wheelers
On 25 May, SIAM Executive Committee proposed that SIAM should prepare proposals for all categories of vehicles
SIAM
EPCA Report Recommendation to Hon’ble Supreme Court:-
The Strategies for vehicular pollution should concentrate on fuel quality , technology for vehicles, improvement in public transport system, inspection and maintenance system for on-road vehicles, traffic management and emission warranties from manufacturers.
SIAM
V M Lal recommendations to Mumbai High Court…..
For all new vehicles manufactured after 1st April 2001 , the vehicle manufacturers will have to give an emission warranty over the life of vehicle through a scheme of Annual Maintenance Contract which will have to be compulsorily entered into by the vehicle owner if he wants to avail of the emission warranty of the manufacturer. The vehicle manufacturers will also ensure that inspection camps are organised periodically for those vehicles which are not covered under the Annual Maintenance Contract . Sale of spurious spare parts be made a cognisable and non-bailable offense. SIAM
After lot of deliberations among the Technical
Heads it was decided to offer Emission Warranty
for all category of vehicles and SIAM to prepare a
common policy document for implementation of
Emission Warranty
SIAM
Emission Warranty - Scope
Emission Warranty based on
* Free acceleration smoke for diesel vehicles
* Idle CO for petrol vehicles
- Warranty for vehicle emission related parts . (And not only
for catalytic converter fitted vehicles or for catalytic
converter only.)
- Each manufacturer to decide on list of parts to be covered
in Emission Warranty. SIAM
Emission Warranty - Purpose & Applicability
• Emission Warranty covers emission
performance of the vehicle .
• Applicable to vehicles registered in India.
• Transferable to subsequent purchaser of
vehicles.
SIAM
Emission Warranty -Period
1. 2-Wheelers :-30,000 kms or 3 years whichever occurs earlier
2. 3-Wheelers :-30,000 kms or 1 year whichever occurs earlier
3. Passenger Cars :-80,000 kms or 3 years whichever occurs earlier
4. MUVs :-80,000 kms or 3 years whichever occurs earlier
5. Commercial Vehicles :-80,000 kms or 1 year whichever occurs earlier SIAM
Suggested Parts covered under Emission Warranty for gasoline Vehicles ( Passenger cars, 2 Wheelers, 3 Wheelers)
Intake system – Air cleaner, Hoses, Clamps, manifolds & clogging indicatorsExhaust system – Manifolds, pipes, Silencer/muffler, EGR valves & After treatment devices.Fuel system – Carburettors, Injectors, Fuel rails, Fuel lift pumps, fuel filters, pipes & clamps,Engine management – ECU, Controllers,Feedback systems, Sensors, actuators, Vacuum modulator valves, vacuum reservoir & related wiring.Ignition system – Spark plugs, Distributors, Ignition coils, Ignition control modules, High tension wires & related wiring.Charging system – Turbochargers, intercoolers/aftercoolers, hoses/pipes.Evaporative emission control – Canisters, PCV valves, Oil separators.
SIAM
Suggested Part covered under Emission Warranty for Diesel Vehicles (HCVs, LCVs, MUVs & 3 Wheelers)
Intake system – Air cleaner, Hoses, Clamps, manifolds & clogging indicatorsExhaust system – Manifolds, pipes, Silencer/muffler, exhaust brakes, EGR valves & After treatment devices.Fuel system – Fuel injection pump, Injectors, FIP timers, Fuel lift pumps, fuel filters, pipes & clamps,Engine management – ECUs, Controllers,Feedback systems, Sensors, actuators, Vacuum modulator valves, vacuum reservoir & related wiring.Charging system – Turbochargers, intercoolers/aftercoolers, hoses/pipes.Evaporative emission control – Canisters, PCV valves, Oil separators.
SIAM
Conditions
Emission Performance of a vehicle is heavily dependent on proper maintenance of vehicle, use of unadulterated Fuel and use of genuine spares.
Therefore , two major preconditions for Emission
Warranty :-
1. Scheduled Maintenance , as per Owners Manual at
Authorised Service Centres
2. Use of specified fuel and oil.
SIAM
• Passenger Cars , MUV’s, 2 Wheelers and 3 Wheelers
– July 01, 2001 - Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai
– Spread progressively as the Bharat Stage II Norms are
implemented
• Commercial Vehicles
– From date of introduction of Bharat Stage II Norms
Emission Warranty -Implementation Plan
SIAM
Automobile Industry needs to strengthen and upgrade the Service Infrastructure to cater to the volume of repairs and maintenance that will result due to Emission Warranty.
SIAM
Support Expected from ACMA members
SIAM
Various components shall be covered under
emission warranty of the vehicle , hence SIAM
members need to work closely with ACMA
members to make implementability of Emission
Warranty possible.
SIAM
Based on different Component Categories involved
SIAM can have various rounds of dialogues with
different component manufacturers to firm up
implementation plan of emission warranty.
