The next million green vehicles from company will include a range of technologies and power trains such as CNGs, smart hybrids, strong hybrids and electric vehicles.
The
country's largest car maker Maruti
Suzuki India (MSI) on Wednesday said it aims to manufacture and
sell another million "green vehicles" in the next couple of
years as it accelerates its eco-friendly mobility drive.
Kicking
off the Auto Expo here, MSI Managing Director and CEO Kenichi Ayukawa
said the company has already sold a million green cars, comprising
CNG and smart hybrids in the last decade.
Showcasing
its concept Futuro-e, an electric
SUV, he said the car is being shown for the first time globally
here, reflecting the importance of Indian customers in Suzuki's
business.
"Our
theme at the Auto Expo 2020 - Mission Green Million - explains our
commitment towards bringing affordable and sustainable green
technologies for India. We aim to manufacture and sell the next
million green vehicles at a much faster pace, over the next couple of
years, " Ayukawa told reporters here.
The
next million green vehicles from company will include a range of
technologies and power trains such as CNGs, smart hybrids, strong
hybrids and electric vehicles, he added.
"We
are banking on customers to accept and upgrade to new technology
including the electrified powertrain," he said adding mass
acceptance will give original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) desired
volumes to bring in localisation benefits to customers.
On
the concept Futuro-e, he said, the electric SUV-coupe which is
defined by its bold and sporty characteristics has been
conceptualised and designed in India by the company.
"The
Concept Futuro-e has the potential to redefine next generation SUV
design language in India," Ayukawa added.
Reiterating
the company's commitment to CNG technology, he said, "In the
coming times we are committed to expand our CNG portfolio to include
many more models."
