India is looking at having an
all-electric car fleet by 2030. The hybrid and electrical cars enjoy a
government rebate under Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Electric vehicles
(FAME) initiative. The popularity of hybrid technology also lies in the cause
that they deliver highly fuel efficient stats.
Country’s largest car maker
Maruti Suzuki is going to launch a car which will be the
hybrid version of the country’s top-selling Maruti Suzuki Swift. The car was
first being developed for a pilot project, which was to be supplied to the
Government of India. However, now the company can launch it for public.
The enhanced SHVS (Smart Hybrid
Vehicle by Suzuki) Technology was imported by Maruti as of its fuel-saving
technology and added features. The SHVS
integrated cars will get the terrific feature that is “A brake energy recovery
system” with a start/stop system and Integrated Starter Generator. A Start/stop system facilitates the engine to
shut-off mode when the car is in stationery. As well the integrated starter
generator produces power to charge the battery by converting the kinetic energy
of rolling wheels.
The car has capability to travel
around 25.5km distance only on electricity mode with SHVS technology. The swift Hybrid car gets 73hp power and
48.2km/l fuel-economy with help of permanent magnet type synchronous motor and
658cc three-cylinder petrol engine.
In general single car has single
mode but the car, Maruti Hybrid Swift has come up with three driven modes such
as hybrid-series, hybrid-parallel and electric-all (Means Three cars in
one). Both the petrol engine and an
electric motor together produced the power to the wheels in the parallel-mode
whereas the petrol engine rotated as a generator that charges electric motor in
the hybrid-series mode.
Sources have revealed that Maruti
Suzuki Swift Hybrid price in India could range between Rs 7 lakh to Rs 8 lakh
& will may be launch in domestic market between Oct 2018 to Dec 2018.
