Maruti Suzuki Showcases HEV Tech At Auto Expo 2018

Mild-hybrids may have been stripped off of benefits by the government, but Maruti isn’t giving up on the hybrid route just yet
Let's all agree that switching to electric cars overnight isn’t going to be easy. There has to be an intermediate solution that reduces our dependency on fossil fuels while preparing us for the impending electric future. Maruti Suzuki believes it's got the right tool for the job in the form of their HEV technology.

HEV stands for Hybrid Electric Vehicle, and it is exactly what the name suggests. Like the SHVS system used on Marutis in India, Suzuki too uses a similar mild-hybrid system in Japan, however the HEV system is a strong hybrid system capable of powering the cars on electric power alone. As you'd expect, a hybrid-electric vehicle relies on two power sources (fuel + electricity) to run. Suzuki's HEV tech comprises of three units - the engine, an integrated starter generator (ISG) and crucially a motor generator unit (MGU). The one on display at the Auto Expo features Suzuki's global 1.2-litre Dualjet motor paired with a 10kW motor generator. This setup already does duty under the hood of the Suzuki Solio (think of it as Japan's WagonR) and the Suzuki Swift in Japan.
