Environmental Impact
EURO emission norms define the maximum level of pollutants to be emitted by an engine for each unit of power produced. The vehicle producers develop various technologies to ensure that exhaust emissions of the vehicles they produce comply with EURO norms. This leads to an environment friendly solution through more powerful and improved engines. With a view to protecting the environment, Ekol considers it crucial to use a fleet with low exhaust emissions. Its truck fleet compliant with EURO 5 norms is the proof of this stance.
