"We will provide all products and technology that will reduce consumption and import of oil and carbon emissions such as battery electric vehicles, resilient hybrid electric vehicles, and natural gas and biofuel-powered vehicles," he said, quoted from his official website, Thursday, August 28, 2025.
Suzuki e Vitara from Maruti Suzuki is predicted to be the largest electric vehicle mass-produced and exported from India. Born from the successful Indian-Japan partnership, e Vitara combines Suzuki technology with the greatness of Indian manufacturing, according to the spirit of 'Make in India; Make for the World'.
This car is built on a newly designed EV platform and is not an IC-engined vehicle converted to EV because EVs involve several design compromises. The e VITARA preview has been done earlier in Milan, Italy and at Bharat Mobility Global Expo in New Delhi, India, including in Indonesia.
