At present, the company has a portfolio of nine ‘S-CNG’ vehicles in the personal and commercial segment, including Alto, S-Presso, WagonR, Celerio, Dzire, Ertiga, Eeco, Super Carry and Tour-S.
“As a company, our aim is to offer safe, reliable, clean, technologically advanced and environmentally-friendly vehicles to our customers.
Our S-CNG range is specifically designed, developed and manufactured at our facilities to suit the Indian driving conditions,” Maruti Suzuki India Ltd (MSIL) Managing Director and CEO Kenichi Ayukawa said in a statement.
Today, there are already over 3,700 CNG stations, making CNG more accessible to people, he said.
“As a technology, CNG will play a bigger and significant role in reducing carbon emission of a large volume of passenger vehicles,” Ayukawa said.
Maruti Suzuki said its ‘S-CNG’ technology has played a significant role in laying the groundwork for democratising CNG technology in the Indian automotive space.
“Since 2010, the company has systematically addressed legacy concerns associated with CNG vehicles for safety and performance,” it said.
The S-CNG technology offers an auto change-over that instantly switches between CNG and petrol modes.
