About this episode

In this episode of the “This is So Exhausting!” Podcast, George and Tim speak to Miron Thoms, Head of Volvo Penta India.

Topics covered include the Covid lockdown in India, improvements in fuel quality, and the implications of the next steps of the complex off-road emissions regulations in India including the introduction of SCR without DOC or DPF in Volvo Penta’s engine range.

We also debate the challenges of moving from mechanical to electronically controlled engines with modern fuel injection, the introduction of BS V for non-road from 2024/25, and the possibility to electrify non-road equipment in India.
