The innovations showcased are more than just products; they are solutions that empower industries to achieve greater performance while meeting global sustainability goals."

Kirloskar Industrial showcased Industry first technologies like • BSV engines for various construction applications like backhoe & wheel loaders, cranes, material handling, road & concrete equipment. • Air cooled engines including India’s first CNG powered air cooled engine for concrete equipment. • India’s only 1100 HP engine for Mining applications like dump trucks, dozers & excavators. • Advanced futuristic technologies like hybrid engines & hydrogen fuelled internal combustion engines.

Kirloskar Industrial launched its range of CEV BS-V engines introducing products that bring in improved efficiency with easy maintenance. These environmentally friendly range of products comply with the latest emission norms by drastically reducing harmful pollutants like nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter compared to older BS-IV engines. These engines offer best in class fuel efficiency through our internally developed state of the art hybrid governing system. They also offer a 10% faster response to load changes as compared to the industry benchmark by offering precision control, making it ideal for demanding and heavy-duty construction applications. These latest engines offer a plug-and-play solution with features like integrated on-board controls and after treatment systems that ensure ease of integration and superior performance. Tested over 20,000 hours in diverse and challenging environments, from sub-zero temperatures to altitudes as high as 5,500 meters, Kirloskar Industrial’s BSV range of engines promise enhanced reliability and ease of maintenance.

Rahul Sahai, CEO of Kirloskar Oil Engines Ltd, emphasized the broader impact of this development: "The range of Kirloskar Industrial’s products is a testament of our strong legacy and our commitment to power India’s Industrial growth. From India’s first CNG powered air cooled engines to developing the only locally manufactured 1100 HP Mining engines, we will continue to bring the most practical indigenously developed products for our customer. The BS-V engine is a major step forward in India’s journey towards adopting cleaner and greener technologies. Along with BSV engines, our hybrid & hydrogen fuelled internal combustion engines will help meet the global demand for high-performance, eco-friendly solutions, solidifying Kirloskar Industrial’s leadership in sustainable engineering solutions."
