Maruti Suzuki not to have pure petrol cars in a decade, says official
With emission and fuel efficiency norms getting tighter, India’s largest car maker Maruti Suzuki India Ltd expects to have only hybrid (mild and strong), flexible fuel, compressed natural gas (CNG), electric, bio-fuel powered vehicles, said a senior official.
As a result, pure petrol powered cars may not figure in the company’s portfolio of cars in a decade. Already the company has stopped rolling out diesel powered cars.
Maruti Suzuki is also focusing on growing its sport utility vehicle portfolio and the market share in that segment.
“Pure petrol powered cars may not be there in the company’s product line up, say in 10 years time as the emission and fuel efficiency norms are getting tighter,” Shashank Srivastava, Senior Executive Director, Marketing & Sales told IANS.
