PRESS RELEASE Hindustan Motors all set to launch BS IV-compliant diesel Ambassador 1.5-litre vehicle displayed to taxi associations at HM plant HOOGHLY (West Bengal), May 24: C K Birla Group’s flagship company Hindustan Motors Ltd. (HM) is all set to launch a BS IV-compliant diesel- powered Ambassador. Company officials displayed 1.5-litre BS IV diesel-driven Ambassadors in different configurations to office-bearers of Kolkata’s different taxi associations at HM’s plant located in Uttarpara here today. Representatives of the associations and some leading HM dealers too drove and rode the vehicles on the test track here to get an actual feel of the forthcoming car. Following extensive test driving, senior functionaries of the taxi associations and the dealers found the BS IV-compliant Ambassadors distinctly superior to the current BS III model. Mr. Bimal Kumar Guha, general secretary of Bengal Taxi Association, said, “I myself drove the BS IV Ambassador over several laps of the test track and found that the new vehicle offers higher power and torque, better vehicle control with power steering, improved gradient negotiating capacity, better cooling and overall better driveability with no compromise on fuel consumption. Of course, it meets the emission norms. I could not detect any smoke.” Mr. Tarak Nath Bari, secretary of Calcutta Taxi Association, stated, “Driving the BS IV Ambassador, today, was a pleasant experience. The forthcoming vehicle is positively better than the current BS III vehicle. The drive proved that the new vehicle fully matches the technical specifications provided by HM. It is real value for money and will positively make better business sense to buyers, particularly in the taxi segment.
