Suzuki has revealed its new SX4 Hybrid concept vehicle at the New Delhi Motor Show.Along with cooperation from India’s National Hybrid Propulsion Program and the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy Sources High Energy Density Battey Development Program, the SX4 uses a previously unseen hybrid system developed by Maruti Suzuki.
This new hybrid drivetrain is a full parallel system, meaning it can run on electricity alone for short distances utilizing a 1.2-liter gasoline-burning engine with a 50 kW electric motor. Compared to other hybrid vehicles that use a CVT transmission, the SX4 is equipped with a five speed automated manual unit. A lithium ion battery pack of unknown capacity stores the electrons.
Suzuki will be demonstrating its SX4 Hybrid during India’s Commonwealth Games in October and plans to have the technology in full production as early as 2015.
