The country’s largest car manufacturer is lagging behind in introducing its first electric vehicle. However, Maruti Suzuki has made a great strategy regarding hybrid vehicles. Let us know about it.
Maruti’s Hybrid technology will become a game changer
Maruti is preparing to launch affordable cars like Front Gen Facelift, Next Gen Baleno and Next Gen Swift in the Indian market. It is expected that these cars will be introduced with hybrid engines. With this, the mileage of vehicles is going to be much better. It is expected that with the help of HEV system, mileage up to 35+ Kmpl can be achieved.
How will the HEV system work?
In this system, the battery-powered electric motor will send power directly to the wheels. The only difference is that the battery does not need to be plugged in, instead the models have on-board generators to recharge the battery. These generators are run by petrol engines. The thing to note is that its petrol engine will never drive the wheels directly, rather it will work as an alternator.
Better option than electric car
The upcoming Maruti cars may get a significant price advantage over other ICE cars in the market, including strong-hybrids. Not only are these likely to be incredibly efficient, but their on-board generators will eliminate the range-anxiety associated with EVs, making this technology an ideal choice for the Indian market.
