Maruthi Suzuki Hybrid car project

I have for you surprising news. Could you even dream of Maruthi Suzuki developing something new in Indian market? You don't have to Maruthi has confirmed that they are planning to develop an electric car for India.

maruthi is planning hybrid
Hybrid Maruthi Swift Concept
Maruthi will develop a hybrid which can run on petrol and electricity as well. The car is made with the help of engineers from Suzuki.

Maruthi said that the project has just began and they have not decided specs and platform about their hybrid car.The technology they will use for he hybrid cars will be unknown. However we can expect the hybrid car on Indian roads by 2016 or lesser.

Indian costumers did not have a good opinion about electric cars. The sales of Reva vehicles shows that. Maruthi knows that Indian is a path starved country were electric vehicles are ignored. Diesel prices are also being hiked in India like petrol.Government has given the companies the right to increase diesel prices according to their wish. So we can expect future price hikes as well.

So there is large potential for electric and hybrid cars in the future. Maruthi Suzuki knows that. The major challenge that Maruthi face in this project is to keep the price tag under 10 lakhs. That is a high mountain to climb.

So what is your reaction towards Maruthi's hybrid project. Share those valuable views with us on the comments
