The ‘common rail system’ is designed to enhance fuel economy and performance in ‘high speed direct injection’ (HSDI) diesel engines while meeting the stringent  Euro IV and Euro V emission norms.

With most of the car makers in India planning to manufacture diesel variants even for small cars, Delphi-TVS Diesel Systems expects a huge growth for such systems and hopes to achieve a sales level of Rs 1,200 crore by 2010.

The company will have three new products to offer the Indian automotive market: the ‘light duty CRS’ targeted at cars and SUVs, the ‘medium duty CRS’ for commercial vehicles and the UPCR (a unit pump based CRS) specifically designed as a cost effective technology for small engine four and three wheelers.

The Rs. 430-crore company has three manufacturing plants : two plants located at Mannur and Oragadam near Chennai and one plant at Pant Nagar in Uttarakhand.

Delphi-TVS's customers include Tata Motors, Mahindra & Mahindra, Hindustan Motors, Ford Motor Company, Maruti Udyog and Perkins.
The creation of a technical centre at its existing facility in Chennai will complement the current engineering facilities and focus on developing new products and applications to meet future emissions legislation.
