Business Business : The next model of your favourite small car Maruti Suzuki Alto K10 could be lighter by up to 100 kg. Yes, Suzuki Motor is preparing its technology strategy for the next 10 years, which is about how its cars will evolve. The main goal of this strategy is to reduce carbon emissions from cars and protect the environment from pollution. To achieve this goal, Suzuki is planning various measures including reducing the weight of its cars.
Since we all know that the Alto K10 is one of the best-selling cars of the company, the new generation Alto K10 is expected to be lighter by about 100 kg. Owning a lighter vehicle comes with several benefits. Less material is used to make the car, less energy is used to build it, and less fuel is used to power the car. This reduces the overall carbon footprint of the car from production to the road.
According to Suzuki, if the weight of a car is reduced by 200 kg, it requires 20% less energy to produce and 6% less energy to run. This simply means that your new Alto K10 requires 10% less energy to produce and you will cover about 3% more miles while driving than before.
Suzuki is trying to use new technologies to reduce car consumption by reducing weight. The company has also improved the Heartect platform, which is expected to reduce the weight of the Alto K10 by 15 percent in the next 10 years.
Nonetheless, Suzuki will expand the use of its flagship Z12E engine worldwide. The company is trying to reduce car consumption through carbon-free fuel and next-generation hybrid cars.
Apart from this, Suzuki is also preparing to use a new type of software in its cars. This reduces the cost of auto parts, reuses software and reduces the time and cost of building a vehicle.
In general, Suzuki is trying to reduce the energy consumption of its cars and make them easier to recycle by introducing such technologies. This is not only good for the company, but also helps keep the environment clean.
