Fuel-saving tech may be rewarded
India's draft CAFE-III regulations reward fuel-saving technologies like automatic start-stop systems and TPMS.
Each approved technology earns a benefit equivalent to 1 g CO2/km, capped at 9 g CO2/km total.
Technologies previously sold as convenience features can now serve as compliance tools.
The incentives encourage wider deployment of these features across mass-market vehicles.
The draft also provides compliance incentives for flex-fuel vehicles with renewable fuels.
