Maruti Suzuki to adopt new technologies to improve fuel efficiency

On the eve of World Environment Day, Maruti Suzuki is looking forward to more environmentally friendly products. The country’s leading carmaker has said that it would continue its work on bringing down vehicle emissions as a means to promote clean air and environmentally friendly vehicles.  

Maruti Suzuki claims it has been successful in bringing down the weighted average of CO2 emission by over 11.6 per cent in last five years. This has been possible through fuel efficiency improvements, reduction of exhaust emissions and development of alternate fuel products during this period.

Earlier this year, parent company Suzuki had showcased three new technologies at the Geneva Motor Show which include a new, light weight platform, a downsized direct-injection turbo petrol engine called BOOSTERJET and the SHVS mild hybrid system. Suzuki says these future technologies will bring down emissions while raising vehicle performance. 

More importantly, these technologies could find relevance in India and Maruti has revealed that it may explore these options as per customer requirements.
