Ricardo and Cooper Corporation of India have further
underscored their long-standing and highly successful
collaboration with the launch of a new range of engines for
both automotive and off-highway applications.
The new in-line four and six-cylinder engines announced at
Auto Expo 2012 - India's premier international automotive
event - will respectively provide power ranges of 100-125
kW and 156-200 kW and are targeted at both the Indian and
international markets. In addition to powering the latest
automotive products, the new engines are targeted at a wide
range of off-highway and industrial applications ranging
from large fork-lift trucks, to generator sets and
construction equipment including earth movers. A completely
new design, the engines incorporate a range of advanced
technologies that make them highly fuel-efficient, robust
and durable, easy to maintain, and provide excellent NVH
characteristics. Moreover, equipped with its
common-rail fuel injection system the automotive variant
meets Bharat Stage IV emissions levels while its
off-highway counterpart, which uses a mechanical fuel
system, will be capable of achieving the CPCB II emissions
norms that are applicable from 2013. Building on a full
range of engines delivered from the very successful
collaboration with Ricardo, the new engine family now
includes two, three, four and six-cylinder variants
following the launch of the first two-cylinder model in
2010. The new Cooper four and six-cylinder engines
were inaugurated by James Bevan, British High Commissioner
to India at the Auto Expo 2012 show.
Speaking at the launch ceremony, Ricardo India president
Mayank Agochiya said: "I am very pleased to be here for the
unveiling of the all-new Cooper four and six-cylinder
engine family. This is a milestone achievement in Cooper's
strategic plan to become a world class engine manufacturer
and vehicle maker. Ricardo and Cooper have been working
together for over 55 years, and we continue to work in
close cooperation to regularly keep coming up with
innovative and path breaking products."
