Green Wheels

Maruti Suzuki will unveil indigenously developed Hybrid SX4 and Electric Eeco at the forthcoming Auto Expo. Both the vehicles have been developed by Maruti Suzuki engineers. The Hybrid SX4 will be a full-hybrid vehicle as compared to a semi-hybrid version offered by another car manufacturer in India. Maruti Suzuki will also demonstrate a fleet of 10 Hybrid and Electric vehicles during Commonwealth Games in October 2010. This is in line with the Union Government’s ambitious programme outline,which attempts to develop hybrid vehicle technology. These concept cars successfully combine the twin aspects of eco-friendliness and personal mobility. However,the car major does not have immediate plans to start production of these concept green cars.
