Maruti Suzuki India Limited has announced that its Smart Hybrid vehicles – Ciaz SHVS and Ertiga SHVS – have crossed cumulative sales of 100,000 units in February 2017. This marks the success of Maruti Suzuki’s efforts in hybrid and electric mobility in India.
Maruti Suzuki introduced India’s first Smart Hybrid Vehicle, Ciaz SHVS on Sept 1, 2015. It subsequently introduced the technology in Ertiga Diesel in Oct 2015. Smart Hybrid Vehicle by Suzuki (SHVS) is a technology which uses an Integrated Starter Generator (ISG) and an advanced high capacity battery to supplement the engine’s power. SHVS technology makes it more efficient than the conventional set-up and saves energy while decelerating/braking. Ciaz and Ertiga Smart Hybrid participate in Government of India’s FAME India scheme, which aims to promote Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric vehicles in India.
Ciaz SHVS, with a certified fuel efficiency of 28.09km/l, tops the mileage chart in India. Ertiga SHVS, with 24.52 km/l, has set new bench marks in fuel efficiency in its category. Both vehicles are market leaders in their respective segments and illustrate the growing preference of Indian customers for greener and cleaner technologies like Smart Hybrids. SHVS equipped vehicles account for over 60% of volume of the two models.
