Ref - http://www.indiaenvironmentportal.org.in/

Vehicular pollution has always been one of the major concerns of Indian Government & to combat that various state government has introduced a number of initiatives, most popular being the ‘Odd & Even Scheme by Delhi Government. Later the government informed the automobile industry that it needs to upgrade their vehicles to BH VI compliant engines by the year 2020.

With its aim to contribute its part the Automotive Research Association of India starts on road emission testing in Pune to collate data about tail-pipe emissions. Currently only lab based testing is compulsory in India however the on-road testing will be compulsory in India too by 2023, three years after the implementation of Bharat Stage-VI regime on April 1, 2020.

Experts consider the on-road testing to be a way more efficient model to measure emissions. “If you carefully study emissions notification under BS-VI, it prescribes the closeness with which real emissions happen with respect to the standard lab condition. We will start collecting data (for BS-IV compliant vehicles) on some sections of expressways, national and state highways, cities and village 

roads. This will be done in a mix and match manner,” Rashmi Urdhwareshe, director, ARAI, said.

Mr. Sameer Malhotra, CEO Shriram Automall said ‘Vehicular pollution in my view does not contribute a large extent but what’s important is when the industry moves to BS VI engines they will contribute much less then what the number is now. Collecting data for BX IV vehicles & then comparing it will BS VI compliant vehicle will help the agency to find what I think will be called a stark difference. I am optimistic about the years to come that India will rise high and contribute less pollution in every possible way’

TIPS TO MAINTAIN A USED DOZER

Of all the machines in the earthmoving world, bulldozers, particularly large ones may have the greatest variation when it comes to owning and operating costs. Steady maintenance is key factor to keep the dozers in optimum condition irrespective of the age of the equipment, geographical and weather conditions. Age is the most important thing which acts upon the performance of a dozer. If you have purchased a used dozer, you have to take extra care. As a used dozer has undergone wear and tear for many years, its level of performance automatically comes down. Proper care of the undercarriage can significantly minimize maintenance costs, increase uptime and impact the longevity of the dozer.

You may have faced problems with the performance of your old dozer many times and at the same time, you cannot stop using this construction equipment as it plays a major role in a construction site. So, why not spend some time in maintaining your dozer properly.

Tips to maintain a dozer properly

• Checkups for steady repair - Regular checkups of the dozer are essential to ensure a good working condition. You should change the oil and other fluids in a systematic interval. If you keep your dozer in extremely wet climatic condition, it will damage more quickly. It is because rust will form rapidly on the important parts of the machine. In case of used dozers, the chains, bolts and the undercarriage should be checked to detect the damaged parts.

• Cleaning of the track frame – To work in muddy conditions especially in winter freezes the mud on the track frame of the dozer. Therefore, you cannot ignore cleaning off the mud while the equipment is still warm. Use a track spade which perfectly fits into the gap between the track and the frame making the work of cleaning smoother for you. After cleaning, park the dozer either in the snow or on aged tires.

• Maintenance of Electrical system – Proper maintenance of electrical system which consists of batteries and wires should not be overlooked. Their periodical checkup is necessary to avoid short circuit. Replace the damage or old battery instantly once you detect them. Your wire should be good enough with an efficient fuse system.
