In response to customer queries, Renault India has confirmed that their vehicles, certified for E10 fuel, face no issues with E20 fuel usage. The announcement comes after collaborative testing with Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) and ARAI showed no negative impact on the performance of Renault vehicles.
The study, shared with various Original Equipment Manufacturers, has verified that current models on the road are compatible with E20. Renault assured that existing models like the Triber, Kwid, and Kiger are unaffected.
The company's reassurance follows a social media debate concerning E20's impact on vehicle performance. The Oil Ministry and automotive experts highlighted potential minor efficiency drops and advised caution for older models not compliant with E20.
