Buses and trucks will be required to comply with fuel consumption norms from April 2023 

that applied only to passenger vehicles so far, according to a draft notification issued by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways.

बसों और ट्रकों को अप्रैल 2023 से ईंधन की खपत के मानदंडों का पालन करना होगा जो अब तक केवल यात्री वाहनों पर लागू होते हैं।

The Ministry has proposed to amend the Central Motor Vehicles Rules 

so that the Constant Fuel Consumption Standards (CFCS) include medium and heavy-duty motor vehicles of various categories.

The Ministry has invited comments for a period of 30 days.

Under the CFSC testing,

 a vehicle is driven on a test track at a constant speed to measure its fuel efficiency. 

Once the final notification is issued,

 the government will upload the test results 

for all vehicle models to enable buyers to make informed decisions.

मंत्रालय ने केंद्रीय मोटर वाहन नियमों में संशोधन का प्रस्ताव किया है ताकि निरंतर ईंधन खपत मानकों (सीएफसीएस) में विभिन्न श्रेणियों के मध्यम और भारी शुल्क वाले मोटर वाहन शामिल हों।
