Eco Factor: Low-emission vehicle powered by a hybrid engine.
Suzuki will soon introduce a plug-in variant of its popular Swift compact car. The new vehicle will be powered by a hybrid engine that makes use of lithium-ion battery supplied by Sanyo. The hybrid variant will be able to drive up to 15km on a single charge after which the onboard 660cc engine revs up to generate electricity.
With the new Swift expected in 2011, the company is silent about the release date of the hybrid. Suzuki dealerships in Japan are however planning to test 60 units of the hybrid in the second half of 2010.
