Thank You, Shri Gehlotji

 

 

What for ?

For accepting my 6 year old suggestion for retrofitting of old Petrol / Diesel vehicles 

( Although my suggestion was to rero-fit with a brand new BS VI compliant ICE engine )

 

Where did you read this ?

Delhi allows EV retrofitting of diesel cars, SUVs older than 10 years / Auto Car / 21 Nov 2021

Extract :

Recently, Delhi Transport Minister Kailash Gahlot confirmed that diesel vehicles older than 10 years can continue to be used in the National Capital Region (NCR) provided that they are converted to run on electric power.

Gahlot took to Twitter to announce that Delhi is now open the retrofitting of internal-combustion engine (ICE) cars with electric power

 

What was your suggestion ?

Here are my e-mails :

Extract :

Why scrap entire vehicle  ?  Why not retrofit  ?

 

 In an OLD vehicle,

 

  #   Only “ Polluting Sub Assembly “ is the ENGINE

 

   #   Other “ Non-Polluting Sub Assemblies “ are :  Body – Chasis – Transmission

        – Tyres etc

 

 So , why SCRAP those non-polluting parts ?

 

 Why not just scrap the old engine and retro-fit the vehicle with a brand NEW engine ( BS VI compliant )  ?

 

 That will mean re-utilizing some 80 % of the asset and , at the same time getting rid of the air pollution !

 

 

Did you raise any OTHER ISSUES in respect of OLD vehicles ?

 

Yes

In this e-mail, I have sought Govt clarifications in respect of :

   #   Ownership of old vehicles

   #   Storage of old vehicles

   #   Cost of towing away and storage

   #   Disposal

   #   Impact on Employment

   #   Supreme Court of New Delhi  ?
