An auto component is at the heart of any vehicle and it is what an auto component manufacturer strives to excel at all through the year. The coveted award for the year goes to the company that nominated a product suitable for BSVI fuel, the fuel injection system and oxygen sensor. Standing out as a relevant whole in 2020, the jury deemed the winning component as a crucial component for OEMs to meet the stipulated emission compliance norms that came into force on April 01, 2020. The jury, in a unanimous consensus, took cognizance of the component of the year playing an important role in reducing the exhaust gas emissions, especially in the high volume two-wheeler segment in 2020. In a year when OEM exposure reduced for most partner suppliers, the winning company also adjudged the winner in the categories: ‘Green Practice Of The Year’ and ‘Auto Ancillary Of The Year’ stood out as the first company to launch BSVI compliant ‘Spark plugs’ and two-wheeler ‘Fuel injection’ and ‘Oxygen Sensors’. The company also extended its winning impact on the aftermarket with a new range of ‘Glow Plugs’ and ‘Ignition coil’ for the four-wheeler segment. Platinum spark plugs as emissions control device are also known to last much longer.
