As a result, pure gasoline -powered cars may not be included in the company’s car portfolio in a decade. The company has stopped launching a diesel -powered car.Maruti Suzuki also focused on growing a portfolio of sports utility vehicles and market share in the segment.
“Pure gasoline -powered cars may not exist in the company’s product lines, say in 10 years because the emissions and norms of fuel efficiency are getting tougher,” Shashank Srivastava, Senior Executive Director, Marketing & Sales told Ians.He said the average fuel savings norm or efficiency (cafa percent) could be done in 2032.
Unlike the norms for exhaust emissions, the norms of% cafa are for the entire car maker portfolio. More car fuel efficiency, the less exhaust emissions.Because there are limits to achieve higher fuel efficiency with current technology, companies see alternatives.
While electric vehicles are one of the options, it is not feasible for all automotive segments in India in the short term due to problems such as the availability of infrastructure filling, vehicle prices and the return period and others.Another option is to launch vehicles powered by mixed fuel – ethanol plus gasoline, hybrid, flexible fuel, CNG and the like.
However, Maruti Suzuki is preparing to launch the first middle-to-electrify-electrify hybrid SUV on July 20. Vehicles will be launched in two variants and strong.This car will be produced at the Toyota Kirlloskar Motor PVT Ltd Factory in Bidadi Karnataka.
