In March 2025, Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd. (HPCL) and Tata Motors joined forces to introduce a co-branded Genuine Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF), aimed at enhancing the efficiency and compliance of BS6 commercial vehicles. This high-quality DEF solution is designed to optimize vehicle performance, improve drivetrain efficiency, and extend vehicle longevity. Produced in BIS-approved facilities, it meets the highest industry standards and will be available across HPCL’s extensive network of 23,000+ fuel stations, ensuring easy access for fleet operators and individual vehicle owners
- In December 2024, Denso developed the world's smallest automotive in-cabin air quality sensor, measuring just 12 cubic centimeters. This compact sensor enhances cabin air quality by detecting harmful gases and pollutants. This innovation allows for more efficient and space-saving integration into vehicle ventilation systems, contributing to a healthier and more comfortable driving environment. The sensor's small size and high sensitivity make it ideal for a wide range of automotive applications, improving air quality
- In September 2022, Bosch introduced the BEA 090 particle counter, designed as an add-on to existing emissions analyzers such as the BEA 550. This advanced device utilizes Condensation Particle Counting (CPC), a highly precise method for measuring exhaust emissions from modern Euro 6/VI diesel vehicles. The BEA 090 ensures compliance with evolving regulations and future particulate measurement standards. It connects via Bluetooth to Bosch’s BEA PC software, streamlining emissions testing for workshops and testing organizations
- In April 2022, Continental expanded its range of Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) sensors, enhancing engine management and emissions control. These sensors provide precise temperature readings, optimizing combustion efficiency and reducing fuel consumption. Designed for durability, they withstand harsh conditions while ensuring high reliability in modern vehicles. The updated EGT sensors help manufacturers meet stricter emissions standards, contributing to cleaner and more fuel-efficient automotive solutions
- In December 2021, Napino Group partnered with Kerdea Technologies to advance oxygen sensor technology for the automotive industry. This licensing partnership enables Napino to integrate Kerdea’s proprietary resistive O₂ sensor technology, improving engine efficiency and emissions control. The sensors enhance fuel efficiency, detect engine misfires, and offer 360-degree mounting flexibility, reducing catalytic converter size and costs.
