Good day,
With the latest regulations, emissions from ships is closely controlled including SO2 in exhaust gasses.
FYI- The ships use what is called as a VLSFO which is less than 0.5% S. In ports and in Emission control areas they use less than 0.1% S fuel.
Not only the ships need to be energy efficient but they have an efficiency rating. The vessels need to maintain or implement measures to meet these rating. There is a classification certification for the same. Further more, every ship has a IAPP- International air pollution certificate issued by the class during annual surveys.
EU MRV - is for European ports which monitors fuel consumption of vessels calling European ports and needs to be under a specific threshold.

Please see below examples of the certifications. The pollution cap is catching on all the Industry alike.
Thanks- Naj

That quite a low number of bookings considering the hype this vehicle had.

The waiting period also seems to be artifically stated to get people on the fence to book as for Maruti, producing 10 - 15k vehicles a month is cakewalk !

The numbers don't seem to add up. Domestic production is 7k per month. How is it going to take 6 or 8 months to deliver 24.5k cars assuming there will be no cancellations. It should take just a little over 3 months unless MSIL plans to create artificial scarcity by hoarding the Jimny

1L per year. 7K per month is 84000 units. So only 16000 units for export?

If it is 7K per month then 24000-odd bookings can be completed in 4 months. The numbers don't make any sense.

I think they’re also including the numbers for export markets backlogs to clear. Hence the volume and media is simply twisting the numbers. That’s why it isn’t making sense.
The international markets have a waiting for 1 year or so I’ve read. Again that’s for 3D version. So it’s not clear what’s MS plans are.

Domestic allocation could be 1500 or so out of 7K and this was already announced at the expo.

I’ll be happy if we get the export quality.

There is no export backlog for Jimmy 5D. AFAIK it has not been launched internationally yet.

No it’s not. But dealers are taking bookings already it’s what I’ve read around.

This is correct. Media has lost it and is just twisting words. I clearly remember the 1500 number from the Auto Expo.

Also, why would they plan 84000 units for India and just 16000 for the rest of the world when they themselves know that this car will see more demand in Australia, South Africa etc than here! The media's words are terribly wrong!

Well, I know it's difficult to keep calm, but given the availability of information (or lack of it) in the public domain, with no clarity, speculations are bound to happen. Media is merely taking advantage of the same, picking up bytes from 'sources' and publishing without verifying. I don't believe these numbers, none, and going 'monk mode' to keeping the distractions away.
Patience, as they say, is indeed a virtue here !

I too in the same mode. Have waited for many years, so few months of wait is okay.

With price reveal and test drive, I can make an informed decision if this is going to be my last ICE car or not.
