Vehicle smoke is emerging as the largest contributor to air pollution in the Delhi NCR, with older vehicles particularly at risk of being banned due to high emissions. In response, a machine developed at the Meerut Institute of Engineering and Technology (MIET) Incubation Forum promises to decarbonise engines and significantly reduce carbon emissions.

The Greenkyari startup, led by operator Sushil Chauhan, has created a machine using advanced hydroxy (HHO) gas technology, capable of cleaning carbon deposits from car and large vehicle engines in just 30 minutes, and two-wheelers in 10 minutes.

The technology, claimed to be unique and unavailable elsewhere in the market, has already completed tests on 100 small and large vehicles, all certified by the Meerut Regional Transport Office (RTO).

A license for manufacturing the machine has been obtained, and a patent application has been filed with the central transport department. Funding for the project was also provided by the Transport Ministry of Uttar Pradesh.

According to Chauhan, the machine destroys 80 per cent of internal engine carbon, leaving only 20 per cent to be released. This not only eliminates existing engine issues but also extends the interval between services without harming the engine.

Once decarbonised, even older vehicles can run for 40,000-50,000 km. The machine will be commercially available by November at a price range of Rs 3.5-4 lakh, while decarbonising a vehicle at a private facility will cost Rs 2 per cc.

Rehan Ahmed, CEO of MIET Incubation Forum, said, “Removing accumulated carbon increases engine efficiency, reduces fuel consumption, extends vehicle life, and lowers emissions. This initiative will help provide a cleaner environment for future generations.”

Vidhyanchal Gupta of ARI, Meerut, added, “Tests on 100 vehicles showed a 50-80 per cent reduction in carbon emissions. This device will be highly beneficial for both vehicle longevity and environmental protection.”
