Maruti Suzuki to sell one million green vehicles

NEW DELHI: The country’s largest car maker Wednesday said it will sell a million green vehicles including CNG, smart hybrids, strong hybrids and electric vehicles over the next couple of years in line with the country’s aim of attaining energy security.

Maruti Suzuki Managing Director Kenichi Ayukawa said, “We aim to manufacture and sell the next million green vehicles at a much faster pace, over the next couple of years. All our business functions are aligned to this mission.”

The next million green vehicles from Maruti Suzuki will include a range of technologies and power trains such as CNGs, Smart Hybrids, Strong Hybrids, and EVs.


“We are banking on customers to accept and upgrade to new technology including the electrified power train... Mass acceptance will give OEMs desired volumes to bring in localization benefits to customers.

That will make a foundation for introduction of affordable and sustainable EV technology for Indian consumers”, added Ayukawa.

The company said it has already sold a million units of CNG and smart hybrid vehicles in the past decade.
